Structural highlights
Disease
S12A3_HUMAN Gitelman syndrome. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
S12A3_HUMAN Electroneutral sodium and chloride ion cotransporter. In kidney distal convoluted tubules, key mediator of sodium and chloride reabsorption (PubMed:21613606, PubMed:22009145). Receptor for the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL18. Contributes to IL18-induced cytokine production, including IFNG, IL6, IL18 and CCL2. May act either independently of IL18R1, or in a complex with IL18R1 (By similarity).[UniProtKB:P59158][1] [2]
