Substrate for Thyroid Hormone Synthesis: Biochemistry, Evolution, and Physiology

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.
Two proposed sequence of events for thyroxine formation in patients expressing mutant thyroglobulin. (A) (1) TSH stimulation drives expression of misfolded TG. (2) Unremitting ER stress. (3) Stress‐induced cell death. (4) Dead thyrocytes release their contents. (5) The contents become iodinated. (6) Forming thyroxine.

KCC3a, a Strong Candidate Pathway for K+ Loss in Alkalemia

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Loss-of-function mutations in the human potassium chloride cotransporter-3 (KCC3) cause a hereditary motor sensory neuropathy associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum. While recapitulating the neuropathy, KCC3-knockout mice also exhibit high blood

Advances in the Treatment of Sensorineural Hearing Loss: From Traditional Therapies to Stem Cell and Gene Therapies

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, April 2026.
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) occurs in 1.5 billion globally, primary driven by damage of cochlear hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. This review systematically examines current therapeutic strategies for sensorineural hearing loss, including traditional drug and physical therapies as well as emerging stem cell and gene therapies, providing a ...

WDR72 Is Required for Urinary Acidification and Normal H+‐ATPase Activity in Intercalated Cells in Mice

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Biallelic inactivating WDR72 variants are linked to distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), nephrocalcinosis, and amelogenesis imperfecta. The kidney shows high WDR72 expression; its precise localization and function remain unclear. WDR72 is a member of the WD40 repeat domain protein family—a large group of scaffold proteins involved in ...

The HSP70 co-chaperone DNAJC14 targets misfolded pendrin for unconventional protein secretion

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Mutations in pendrin, a plasma membrane transporter, lead to Pendred syndrome, which is associated with hearing loss. Here, Jung et al. show that cell-surface expression of a mutated form of pendrin can be restored by blocking ER-to-Golgi traffic and ...

Regulation of extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure by pendrin.

open access: yes, 2011
Na(+) is commonly designed as the culprit of salt-sensitive hypertension but several studies suggest that abnormal Cl(-) transport is in fact the triggering mechanism. This review focuses on the regulation of blood pressure (BP) by pendrin, an apical Cl(-

Synergistic roles of aquaporin 5 and intra‐ and extracellular carbonic anhydrases in promoting CO2 diffusion across the Xenopus oocyte plasma membrane

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 3, Page 1174-1234, 1 February 2026.

Effects of cAMP and CFTR modulation on apical fluid pH in human airway Calu‐3 cells

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, February 2026.
Abstract The airway epithelium serves as the first line of defense against inhaled insults present in the external environment by acting as a physical barrier and through host defense mechanisms. Proper maintenance of these host defense mechanisms relies on the regulation of airway surface liquid (ASL) composition and properties, a process that is ...

Probenecid Pre-treatment Downregulates the Kidney Cl-/HCO3- Exchanger (Pendrin) and Potentiates Hydrochlorothiazide-Induced Diuresis

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Background: Probenecid is a uricosuric agent that in addition to exerting a positive ionotropic effect in the heart, blocks the ATP transporter Pannexin 1 and inhibits the Cl-/HCO3- exchanger, pendrin.

Viewing Cortical Collecting Duct Function Through Phenotype-guided Single-Tubule Proteomics

open access: yesFunction, 2020
The revolution of the omics technologies has enabled profiling of the molecules of any sample. However, the heterogeneity of the kidney with highly specialized nephron segments like the cortical collecting duct (CCD) poses a challenge regarding ...
