Na+/Cl− cotransporter 2 (Ncc2 or Slc12a10), is a membrane transport protein that belongs to the electroneutral cation-chloride cotransporter family. The Slc12a10 gene ( slc12a10) is widely present in bony vertebrates but is deleted or pseudogenized in birds, some bony fishes, and most mammals. Slc12a10 is highly homologous to Ncc (Slc12a3 or Ncc1); however, there are only a few reports measuring the activity of Slc12a10. In this study, we focused on zebrafish Slc12a10.1 (zSlc12a10.1) and analyzed its activity using Xenopus oocyte electrophysiology. Analysis using Na+-selective microelectrodes showed that intracellular sodium activity ( aNai) in zSlc12a10.1 oocytes was significantly decreased in Na+- or Cl−-free medium and recovered when Na+ or Cl− was readded to the medium. Similar analysis using a Cl−-selective microelectrode showed that intracellular chloride activity ( aCli) in zSlc12a10.1 oocytes significantly decreased in Na+- or Cl−-free medium and recovered when Na+ or Cl− was readded to the medium. When a similar experiment was performed with a voltage clamp, the membrane current did not change when aNai of zSlc12a10.1 oocytes were decreased in Na+-free medium. Molecular phylogenetic and synteny analyses suggest that gene duplication between slc12a10.2 and slc12a10.3 in zebrafish, is a relatively recent event, whereas gene duplication between slc12a10.1 and the ancestral gene of slc12a10.2/ slc12a10.3 occurred at least about 2 million years ago. slc12a10 deficiency was observed in species belonging to Ictaluridae, Salmoniformes, Osmeriformes, Batrachoididae, Syngnathiformes, Gobiesociformes, Labriformes, and Tetraodontiformes. These results indicate that zebrafish Slc12a10.1 is an electroneutral Na+/Cl−cotransporter and establish its evolutionary position among various teleost slc12a10 paralogs.
