Abstract excerpt
Kir5.1 is an inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channel subunit abundantly expressed in the kidney and brain. We previously established the physiologic consequences of a Kcnj16 (gene encoding Kir5.1) knockout in the Dahl salt-sensitive rat (SSKcnj16-/-), which caused electrolyte/pH dysregulation and high-salt diet-induced mortality. Since Kir channel gene mutations may alter neuronal excitability and are linked...
