Tissue Specificity | Expressed in brain (at protein level). Highly expressed in heart, brain and kidney. Detected at lower levels in skeletal muscle, placenta, lung and pancreas. Detected in umbilical vein endothelial cells. Isoform 2: More abundant in kidney. Isoform 5: Testis specific. |
Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated, phosphorylation regulates transporter activity. Phosphorylated at Thr-991 and Thr-1048 by OXSR1/OSR1 and STK39/SPAK downstream of WNK kinases (WNK1, WNK2, WNK3 or WNK4), inhibiting the potassium-chloride cotransport activity. N-glycosylated. |
Function | Isoform 1: Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport when activated by cell swelling. May contribute to cell volume homeostasis in single cells. Isoform 2: Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport when activated by cell swelling. May contribute to cell volume homeostasis in single cells (Probable). Isoform 3: Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport when activated by cell swelling. May contribute to cell volume homeostasis in single cells (Probable). Isoform 4: Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport when activated by cell swelling. May contribute to cell volume homeostasis in single cells (Probable). Isoform 5: Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport when activated by cell swelling. May contribute to cell volume homeostasis in single cells (Probable). Isoform 6: Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport when activated by cell swelling. May contribute to cell volume homeostasis in single cells (Probable). |
