|  Tissue Specificity  |   Widely expressed.  |  
  |  Post Translational Modifications  |   Phosphorylation at Ser-433 by PKA or PKC decreases the interaction with WNK1 and WNK4, leading to inhibit their degradation by the BCR(KLHL3) complex. Phosphorylated at Ser-433 by PKC in response to angiotensin II signaling, decreasing ability to promote degradation of WNK1 and WNK4, leading to activation of Na-Cl cotransporter SLC12A3/NCC. Phosphorylation at Ser-433 is increased by insulin. Dephosphorylated at Ser-433 by calcineurin PPP3CA, promoting degradation of WNK1 and WNK4.  |  
  |  Function  |   Substrate-specific adapter of a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that acts as a regulator of ion transport in the distal nephron. The BCR(KLHL3) complex acts by mediating ubiquitination and degradation of WNK1 and WNK4, two activators of Na-Cl cotransporter SLC12A3/NCC in distal convoluted tubule cells of kidney, thereby regulating NaCl reabsorption. The BCR(KLHL3) complex also mediates ubiquitination and degradation of WNK3. The BCR(KLHL3) complex also mediates ubiquitination of CLDN8, a tight-junction protein required for paracellular chloride transport in the kidney, leading to its degradation.  |
