SGK1: a rapid aldosterone-induced regulator of renal sodium reabsorption

Physiology (Bethesda). 2005 Apr:20:134-9. doi: 10.1152/physiol.00053.2004.

Abstract

Recently, substantial progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms by which aldosterone rapidly stimulates sodium transport in the distal nephron and other tight epithelia. Serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) has been identified as an important mediator of this process. Its physiological relevance has been revealed through heterologous expression in cultured cells and generation of SGK1 knockout mice.
