Disease relevance of Bsnd

  • The gene encoding the integral membrane protein barttin is mutated in a form of Bartter's syndrome that is associated with congenital deafness and renal failure [1].
 

High impact information on Bsnd

  • This work describes the first known beta-subunit for CLC chloride channels and reveals that heteromers formed by ClC-K and barttin are crucial for renal salt reabsorption and potassium recycling in the inner ear [1].
 

Anatomical context of Bsnd

  • Barttin is a Cl- channel beta-subunit crucial for renal Cl- reabsorption and inner ear K+ secretion [1].
 

Associations of Bsnd with chemical compounds

  • Here we show that barttin acts as an essential beta-subunit for ClC-Ka and ClC-Kb chloride channels, with which it colocalizes in basolateral membranes of renal tubules and of potassium-secreting epithelia of the inner ear [1].
