Abstract excerpt
The thiazide-sensitive Na(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (TSC) is responsible for the major sodium chloride reabsorption pathway, which is located in the apical membrane of the epithelial cells of the distal convoluted tubule. TSC is involved in several physiological activities including transepithelial ion absorption and secretion, cell volume regulation, and setting intracellular Cl(-) concentration below or above its...
