Genetic and Biological Effects of SLC12A3, a Sodium-Chloride Cotransporter, in Gitelman Syndrome and Diabetic Kidney Disease
3 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
The SLC12A3 (Solute carrier family 12 member 3) gene encodes a sodium-chloride cotransporter and mediates Na+ and Cl− reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule of kidneys. An experimental study has previously showed that with knockdown of zebrafish ortholog, slc12a3 led to structural abnormality of kidney pronephric distal duct at 1-cell stage, suggesting that SLC12A3 may have genetic effects in renal...
