Regulation of ion transport by protein-protein interaction domains

Curr Opin Nephrol Hypertens. 1997 Sep;6(5):447-54. doi: 10.1097/00041552-199709000-00007.

Abstract

Protein-protein interaction via specific modular domains has been implicated in the regulation of many signalling pathways. Recently, such modules, in particular WW, Src homology-3 and PDZ domains, have been shown to regulate localization, clustering and function of several ion channels and transporters, including the epithelial Na+ channel, K+ channel and ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors.
