背景(Background)
This gene encodes a member of the WNK family of serine-threonine protein kinases. The kinase is part of the tight junction complex in kidney cells, and regulates the balance between NaCl reabsorption and K(+) secretion. The kinase regulates the activities of several types of ion channels, cotransporters, and exchangers involved in electrolyte flux in epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene result in pseudohypoaldosteronism type IIB.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009],
功能
catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,caution:Cys-203 is present instead of the conserved Lys which is expected to be an active site residue. Lys-186 appears to fulfill the required catalytic function.,cofactor:Magnesium.,disease:Defects in WNK4 are a cause of pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII) [MIM:145260]. PHAII is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by severe hypertension, hyperkalemia, and sensitivity to thiazide diuretics which may result from a chloride shunt in the renal distal nephron.,enzyme regulation:Activation requires autophosphorylation of Ser-335. Phosphorylation of Ser-331 also promotes increased activity.,function:Regulates the activity of the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter, SLC12A3, by phosphorylation which appears to prevent membrane trafficking of SLC12A3. Also inhibits the renal K(+) channel, KCNJ1, via a kinase-independent
