WNK Lysine-Deficient Protein Kinase 1MeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : WNK Lysine-Deficient Protein Kinase 1;
MeSH definition : A serine-threonine kinase which plays an important role in the regulation of electrolyte
homeostasis, cell signaling, survival, and proliferation. It functions as an activator
and inhibitor of sodium-coupled chloride co-transporters and as an inhibitor of potassium-coupled
chloride co-transporters. Mutations in the WNK1 gene are associated with type 2C PSEUDOHYPOALDOSTERONISM
and type 2A HEREDITARY SENSORY AND AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHIES.;
