The TWK-26/KCNK3 potassium channel and FLR-4 protein kinase coordinate nutrient absorption in the <i>C. elegans</i> intestine
2024-05-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Ion channels are necessary for proper water and nutrient absorption in the intestine, thereby supporting cellular metabolism and organismal growth. While a role for Na + co-transporters and pumps in intestinal nutrient absorption is well defined, how individual K + uniporters function in this process is poorly understood. Using Caenorhabditis elegans , we show that a gain-of-function mutation...
