Identification and characterization of alternative STK39 transcripts within human and mouse kidneys reveals species‐specific regulation of blood pressure

Abstract STK39 encodes a serine threonine kinase, SPAK, which is part of a multi‐kinase network that determines renal Na+ reabsorption and blood pressure (BP) through regulation of sodium‐chloride co‐transporters in the kidney. Variants within STK39 are associated with susceptibility to essential hy...
