Abstract excerpt
The serum and glucocorticoid inducible kinase (SGK1) is well known to up-regulate the renal epithelial Na(+) channel ENaC. Excessive SGK1 activity would be expected to cause renal Na(+) retention and blood pressure increase. Certain polymorphisms of the SGK1 gene (E8CC/CT;I6CC) are indeed associated with moderately enhanced blood pressure. We have recently disclosed another function of SGK1, i.e. the stimulation...
