Abstract excerpt
Pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHA II) is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and is characterized by hypertension, hyperkalemia, and hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. The enhancement of with-no-lysine kinase (WNK) functions is correlated to the pathogenesis of the condition. Cullin 3 (CUL3) forms an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, and it can ubiquitinate WNK. Most CUL3 gene mutations are distributed in...
