SGK1 activates KCNQ4. 3 / 4
| 3

reach
"SGK1 activates a wide variety of ion channels (e.g., ENaC, SCN5A, TRPV4-6, ROMK, Kv1.3, Kv1.5, Kv4.3, KCNE1 and KCNQ1, KCNQ4, ASIC1, GluR6, ClCKa and barttin, ClC2, CFTR, and Orai and STIM), which participate in the regulation of transport, hormone release, neuroexcitability, inflammation, cell proliferation, and apoptosis."

reach
"Similarly, substitution of the putative phosphorylation site S444 in the K + channel KCNQ4 with Ala or Asp abolished Sgk1 modulation of KCNQ4."

reach
"Coexpression of wild type SGK1 but not coexpression of the inactive mutant (K127N) SGK1 significantly increased current amplitudes (by 67%) and significantly increased the resting potential of KCNQ4 expressing oocytes."
