Abstract excerpt
Defective pressure-natriuresis related to abnormalities in the natriuretic response has been associated with hypertension development. A major signaling pathway mediating pressure natriuresis involves the cGMP-dependent protein kinase 1 (PRKG1) that, once activated by Src kinase, inhibits renal Na(+) reabsorption via a direct action on basolateral Na-K ATPase and luminal Na-H exchanger type 3, as shown in renal...
