Aldosterone plays a central role in Na⁺ homeostasis by controlling Na⁺ reabsorption in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron involving the epithelial Na⁺ channel (ENaC). Part of the effects of aldosterone is mediated by serum and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 (Sgk1), a Ser/Thr kinase whose expression is rapidly induced by aldosterone and that increases in heterologous expression...
