Factors that regulate KCC2.

Factor Function Ref
WNK/SPAK Phosphorylates KCC2 extracellular domain and inhibit KCC2 58
Brain-type creatine kinase Directly binds to KCC2 and Activates KCC2 59
PACSIN1 A neuronal endocytic regulatory protein that inhibits KCC2 expression 60
Gephyrin Anchor protein to stabilize KCC2 expression 61
GABAB Receptor Directly bind to KCC2 and inhibit its expression 62
