Renal proximal tubule sodium transport and genetic mechanisms of essential hypertension.

Abstract excerpt

Renal sodium re-absorption is a closely regulated process serving to maintain both extracellular fluid volume and arterial blood pressure. Proteins participating in sodium re-absorption and its regulation are therefore important candidate proteins whose genes may contain sequence variation contributing to the inherited tendency for increased arterial blood pressure (essential hypertension). Important insight has...
