Protein function (UniProt)

Solute carrier family 12 member 3

Electroneutral sodium and chloride ion cotransporter, which acts as a key mediator of sodium and chloride reabsorption in kidney distal convoluted tubules (PubMed:18270262, PubMed:21613606, PubMed:22009145, PubMed:36351028, PubMed:36792826). Also acts as a receptor for the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL18, thereby contributing to IL18-induced cytokine production, including IFNG, IL6, IL18 and CCL2 (By similarity). May act either independently of IL18R1, or in a complex with IL18R1 (By similarity)
