WNK1 (With-No-K, lysine) and WNK4 are serine/threonine kinases, mutated in Gordon syndrome (Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type II), a dominant, hypertensive, hyperkalaemic disorder; implicating this novel WNK pathway in normal regulation of blood pressure (BP) and electrolyte balance. Previous Xenopus oocyte work implicates WNK4 in regulation of K+ secretion via ROMK (renal outer medullary K+ channel) and Cl- transport pathways both paracellularly via tight junctions (claudin...
