Abstract excerpt
Mutations in WNK4 protein kinase cause pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII), a genetic disorder that is characterized by renal NaCl and K(+) retention leading to hypertension and hyperkalemia. Consistent with this, WNK4 is known to regulate several renal tubule transporters, including the NaCl cotransporter, NCC, and the K(+) channel, ROMK, but the mechanisms are incompletely understood, and the role of the...
