About WNK4

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:42,780,610-42,797,066 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 247 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 12.8), prostate (RPKM 5.7) and 6 other tissues.

Summary

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]
