Abstract excerpt
Sgk1 is a relatively unstable kinase that regulates epithelial Na(+) transport in the distal nephron of the kidney. We identified a 5' variant alternate transcript of human Sgk1 (Sgk1_v3) that is expressed in the connecting tubule and collecting duct, is regulated by aldosterone and insulin, and is predicted to encode an NH(2)-terminal variant Sgk1 isoform, Sgk1_i3. Sgk1_i3 contains a polybasic motif, KKR, in its...
