About SLC12A3

Cytogenetic location: 16q13 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:56,865,207-56,915,850 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 203 orthologues, 8 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Restricted expression toward kidney (RPKM 65.2).

Summary

This gene encodes a renal thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter that is important for electrolyte homeostasis. This cotransporter mediates sodium and chloride reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule. Mutations in this gene cause Gitelman syndrome, a disease similar to Bartter's syndrome, that is characterized by hypokalemic alkalosis combined with hypomagnesemia, low urinary calcium, and increased Renin activity associated with normal blood pressure. This cotransporter is the target for thiazide diuretics that are used for treating high blood pressure. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
