Abstract excerpt
Mutations in WNK kinases cause the human hypertensive disease pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII), but the regulatory mechanisms of the WNK kinases are not well understood. Mutations in kelch-like 3 (KLHL3) and Cullin3 were also recently identified as causing PHAII. Therefore, new insights into the mechanisms of human hypertension can be gained by determining how these components interact and how they are...
