| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in brain. Not detected in other tissues. Highly expressed in pyramidal neurons and in neurons throughout the cortex, hippocampus, the granular layer of the cerebellum and in groups of neurons throughout the brainstem. Barely detectable in dorsal-root ganglions. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated at Thr-929 and Thr-1030 by OXSR1/OSR1 and STK39/SPAK downstream of WNK kinases (WNK1, WNK2, WNK3 or WNK4), inhibiting the potassium-chloride cotransport activity. |
| Function | Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport in mature neurons and is required for neuronal Cl(-) homeostasis. As major extruder of intracellular chloride, it establishes the low neuronal Cl(-) levels required for chloride influx after binding of GABA-A and glycine to their receptors, with subsequent hyperpolarization and neuronal inhibition. Involved in the regulation of dendritic spine formation and maturation. |
