A minor role of WNK3 in regulating phosphorylation of renal NKCC2 and NCC co-transporters in vivo

Summary Mutations in WNK1 and WNK4 kinase genes have been shown to cause a human hereditary hypertensive disease, pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII). We previously discovered that WNK kinases phosphorylate and activate OSR1/SPAK kinases that regulate renal SLC12A family transporters such as NKC...
