The clathrin adaptor ARH not only targets LDL for endocytosis but also mediates the internalization of the key kidney potassium excretory channels, ROMK and BK. Here, we show why people who lack functional ARH do not waste potassium in their urine. journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10....
The endocytic adaptor ARH facilitates potassium conservation by regulating ROMK and BK | American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology | American Physiological Society
Renal outer medullary K+ (ROMK) channels are essential for urinary potassium secretion, and their endocytosis prevents excessive K+ loss during dietary deficiency. The clathrin adaptor autosomal reces...
