WNK kinases and essential hypertension.

Current opinion in nephrology and hypertension - 1 Mar 2008

Huang Chou-Long, Kuo Elizabeth, Toto Robert D

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The present review summarizes recent literature and discusses the potential roles of WNKs in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension. RECENT FINDINGS: WNKs (with-no-lysine [K]) are a recently discovered family of serine-threonine protein kinases with unusual protein kinase domains. The role of WNK kinases in the control of blood pressure was first revealed by the findings that mutations of...
