Abstract excerpt
Claudin-16 (CLDN-16) is involved in the paracellular reabsorption of Mg(2+) in the thick ascending limb of Henle. The tight junctional localization and Mg(2+) transport of CLDN-16 are regulated by cAMP/PKA-dependent phosphorylation. Here, we examined whether PKA phosphorylates CLDN-16 in a direct or indirect manner. CLDN-16 was stably expressed in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells using a Tet-OFF system. The...
