The effect of high-dietary K+ (HK) on Kir4.1/Kir5.1 and ROMK in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) is not affected by gender and Cl− content of the diet

Basolateral potassium channels in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) are composed of inwardly-rectifying potassium channel 4.1 (Kir4.1) and Kir5.1. Kir4.1 interacts with Kir5.1 to form a 40 pS K+ channel which is the only type K+ channel expressed in the basolateral membrane of the DCT. Moreover, Ki...
