Abstract excerpt
Claudin-16 is involved in the paracellular reabsorption of Mg(2+) in the thick ascending limb of Henle. Little is known about the mechanism regulating the tight junctional localization of claudin-16. Here, we examined the effect of Mg(2+) deprivation on the distribution and function of claudin-16 using Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells expressing FLAG-tagged claudin-16. Mg(2+) deprivation inhibited the...
