Renal tubule sodium-chloride transporter (NCC)
- Target
- NCC
- Molecular classification
- SLC12 family of cation-coupled chloride cotransporters, Transporter
01
Overview
The renal tubule sodium-chloride transporter (NCC), located in the apical membrane of distal convoluted tubule cells, plays a crucial role in reabsorbing sodium and chloride ions. This process is vital for salt and water homeostasis, blood pressure regulation, and electrolyte balance. NCC is the target of thiazide diuretics, commonly used to treat hypertension. Dysfunction of NCC is implicated in diseases like Gitelman syndrome and Familial Hyperkalemic Hypertension.
