  • SGK1: a rapid aldosterone-induced regulator of renal sodium reabsorption.

    McCormick JA, Bhalla V, Pao AC, Pearce D. Physiology (Bethesda). 2005: 20 134-9

    Recently, substantial progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms by which aldosterone rapidly stimulates sodium transport in the distal nephron and other tight epithelia. Serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) has been identified as an important mediator of this process. Its physiological relevance has been revealed through heterologous expression in cultured cells and generation of SGK1 knockout mice.
