Abstract excerpt
NEDD4L is a ubiquitin ligase that controls cell surface expression of kidney epithelial Na+ channels by ubiquitin-mediated endocytosis and lysosome targeting. Thus, it is a significant determinant of Na+ reabsorption in the distal nephron. The NEDD4L gene is located on human chromosome 18q21 within several blood pressure quantitative trait loci, including those for familial orthostatic hypotension, essential...
