"suggested that WNK4 or a WNK4 mutant with a region containing a coiled coil domain and a autoinhibitory domain may decrease BK alpha-subunit plasma membrane expression as well as the whole cell expression, which suggests that WNK4 inhibits BK channel function by enhancing the degradation of BK channels via an ubiquitin dependent pathway in the distal nephron."

"Previous studies have demonstrated that WNK4 inhibits BK channel activity by activating the ERK 1/2 signaling pathway and leading to enhancing BK degradation through a lysosomal pathway ( Kahle et al ., 2003 ; Zhuang et al ., 2011 ; Wang et al ., 2013 ; Yue et al ., 2013 ) , whereas WNK1 stimulates BK activity by suppressing the ERK 1/2 signaling pathway ( Liu et al ., 2015 ) ."
