Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for SLC12A5(NM_020708.5) Search again
Powered by BiozBy default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.
Summary
K-Cl cotransporters are proteins that lower intracellular chloride concentrations below the electrochemical equilibrium potential. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane K-Cl cotransporter that can function in either a net efflux or influx pathway, depending on the chemical concentration gradients of potassium and chloride. The encoded protein can act as a homomultimer, or as a heteromultimer with other K-Cl cotransporters, to maintain chloride homeostasis in neurons.

- Expression of hKCC2 cRNA in Xenopus laevis oocytes results in significant Cl(-)-dependent (86)Rb(+) uptake under isotonic conditions
- human osteoblasts express functional K-Cl cotransporters in their cell membrane that seem to be able to induce the indirect activation of volume-sensitive Cl- channels by KCl through an increase in the intracellular ions, water influx and cell swelling.
- GABAergic transmission is influenced by the neuronal expression chloride-extruding K(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter KCC2--REVIEW
- KCC2 expression is not only necessary but is also sufficient for ending the depolarizing period of GABA in developing cortical neurons
- constitutive K(+)-Cl(-) cotransport mediated by KCC2 is completely independent of serine-threonine phosphatase activity
- decrease in the spontaneous activity transients was associated with a developmental up-regulation of the neuronal chloride extruder K+-Cl- cotransporter 2
- PKC-dependent phosphorylation of KCC2 may play a central role in modulating both the functional expression of this critical transporter in the brain and the strength of synaptic inhibition
- The novel KCC2a isoform differs from the only previously known KCC2 isoform (now termed KCC2b) by 40 unique N-terminal amino acid residues, including a putative Ste20-related proline alanine-rich kinase-binding site.
