With a molecular weight of around 120 kDa NKCC2 functions in the reabsorption of sodium potassium and chloride ions a function facilitated by its location in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle in the kidneys. This location and functionality are critical for renal concentration mechanisms and contribute to the maintenance of electrolyte and fluid balance.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThis transporter plays an essential role in concentrating urine and regulating blood pressure. NKCC2 is a part of the larger solute carrier family and does not usually form complexes with other proteins. It facilitates the trans-epithelial movement of Na+ K+ and 2Cl- ions from the lumen into renal epithelial cells which is fundamental for the creation of an osmotic gradient essential for water reabsorption.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe SLC12A1 protein is a significant component of renal electrolyte transport and blood pressure regulation pathways. It is intricately involved in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) which regulates blood volume and systemic vascular resistance. In these pathways NKCC2's activity tightly connects it to other ion channel proteins and transporters such as ENaC which also play roles in blood pressure regulation by influencing sodium handling in the nephron.\u003cbr\u003e\nDysregulation of NKCC2 function can result in Bartter syndrome and hypertension. Bartter syndrome a rare disorder characterized by salt wasting and electrolyte imbalances stems from mutations affecting NKCC2. This transporter also impacts hypertension where its dysregulation can alter sodium reabsorption processes linking it to other proteins involved in blood pressure control such as the mineralocorticoid receptor. Understanding the role of NKCC2 provides insight into potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854224281769,"sku":"ab244342","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab244342","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
