KCNJ10 and KCNJ16 in the nephron. (AF) Localization of Kcnj10 and Kcnj16 in mouse kidney. A and B, C and D, and E and F are consecutive sections. (A and B) Markers of distal convoluted tubules [NaCl cotransporter (NCC), green], connecting tubules and collecting ducts (calbindin, blue), and principal cells of connecting tubules and collecting ducts [aquaporin-2 (AQP2), red]. (C and D) Kcnj10 (green) was localized in the basolateral membrane of early and late distal convoluted tubules, connecting tubules, and early cortical collecting ducts. (E and F) Distribution of Kcnj16 (green) was similar to that of Kcnj10. (G and H) Localization of KCNJ10 in consecutive sections of human kidney. KCNJ10 labeling (green) was observed in the same segments as in mouse kidney. In addition, KCNJ10 was found in cortical thick ascending limbs (arrowheads, NKCC2-positive tubules; asterisk, glomerulus; M, macula densa).
