Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the residues that control the binding and affinity of thiazide-type diuretics for their protein target, the renal Na(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (NCC). Previous studies from our group have shown that affinity for thiazides is higher in rat (rNCC) than in flounder (flNCC) and that the transmembrane region (TM) 8-12 contains the residues that produce this difference. Here, an alignment analysis of...
