Scientific Background: Wnk2 (PRKWNK2) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the Other group and Wnk family. It plays a critical role in the regulation of electrolyte homeostasis, signalling survival, and proliferation. Activation requires autophosphorylation of S356. Phosphorylation of S352 also promotes increased phosphotransferase activity. It activates sodiu-coupled chloride cotransporters and inhibits potassium-coupled chloride cotransporters. It is also involved in reducing ERK1/2 activation. ERK1/2 expression can also increase through activation of of MEK1 via Rac1-mediate PAK1 activation. WNK2 may be a tumour suppressor protein (TSP). Wnk2 is also called serologically defined colon cancer antigen 43. Loss of Wnk2 expression was found in adult gliomas and triggers Rac1-mediated tumour cell invasiveness. Loss of expression of Wnk2 is also found in meningioma and facilitates increased cell cycle progression and proliferation.
