1 Overexpression of pendrin in intercalated cells produces chloride-sensitive hypertension. Chlorides solute carrier family 26, member 4 Mus musculus
2 Here, mice overexpressing the chloride transporter pendrin in intercalated cells of the distal nephron (Tg(B1-hPDS) mice) displayed increased renal absorption of chloride. Chlorides solute carrier family 26, member 4 Mus musculus
3 Moreover, excessive chloride absorption by pendrin drove parallel absorption of sodium through the epithelial sodium channel ENaC and the sodium-driven chloride/bicarbonate exchanger (Ndcbe), despite an appropriate downregulation of these sodium transporters in response to the expanded vascular volume and hypertension.
