Abstract
The electrogenic Na(+)-HCO3 (-) cotransporter 2 (NBCe2) is a newly discovered protein in the distal nephron. Our understanding is minimal regarding its physiological role in renal electrolyte transport. In this mini-review, we summarize the potential function of NBCe2 in the regulation of blood pressure, acid-base, and K(+) and Ca(2+) transport in the distal nephron.Entities:
