Key result
The recruitment of the β-subunit isoform 1 of the Na+-K+-ATPase in NKCC2 multiprotein complexes was significantly increased in the kidneys of spontaneous hypertensive rats compared with controls.
The interaction between β1NK and NKCC2 enhances NKCC2 trafficking to the plasma membrane, identifying a novel molecular mechanism potentially involved in hypertension development.

Identifies candidate hypertension mechanism in rats; leaves open therapeutic relevance pending human validation.
Carmosino et al. (2014) studied Hypertension. Spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHRs) vs. Wistar Kyoto rats was evaluated on Recruitment of β-subunit isoform 1 of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase (β1NK) in NKCC2 multiprotein complexes. The recruitment of the β-subunit isoform 1 of the Na+-K+-ATPase in NKCC2 multiprotein complexes was significantly increased in the kidneys of spontaneous hypertensive rats compared with controls.
