Gene: WNK1
Alternate names for this Gene: HSAN2|HSN2|KDP|PPP1R167|PRKWNK1|PSK|p65
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the WNK subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein may be a key regulator of blood pressure by controlling the transport of sodium and chloride ions. Mutations in this gene have been associated with pseudohypoaldosteronism type II and hereditary sensory neuropathy type II. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described but the full-length nature of all of them has yet to be determined.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 12
Location in Chromosome : 12p13.33
Description of this Gene: WNK lysine deficient protein kinase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
