Anti-phospho-OSR1 (Thr185)

The product of this gene belongs to the Ser/Thr protein kinase family of proteins. It regulates downstream kinases in response to environmental stress, and may play a role in regulating the actin cytoskeleton. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], Protein function: Effector serine/threonine-protein kinase component of the WNK-SPAK/OSR1 kinase cascade, which is involved in various processes, such as ion transport, response to hypertonic stress and blood pressure (PubMed:16669787, PubMed:18270262, PubMed:21321328, PubMed:34289367). Specifically recognizes and binds proteins with a RFXV motif (PubMed:16669787, PubMed:21321328, PubMed:17721439). Acts downstream of WNK kinases (WNK1, WNK2, WNK3 or WNK4): following activation by WNK kinases, catalyzes phosphorylation of ion cotransporters, such as SLC12A1/NKCC2, SLC12A2/NKCC1, SLC12A3/NCC, SLC12A5/KCC2 or SLC12A6/KCC3, regulating their activity (PubMed:17721439). Mediates regulatory volume increase in response to hyperosmotic stress by catalyzing phosphorylation of ion cotransporters SLC12A1/NKCC2, SLC12A2/NKCC1 and SLC12A6/KCC3 downstream of WNK1 and WNK3 kinases (PubMed:16669787, PubMed:21321328). Phosphorylation of Na-K-Cl cotransporters SLC12A2/NKCC1 and SLC12A2/NKCC1 promote their activation and ion influx, simultaneously, phosphorylation of K-Cl cotransporters SLC12A5/KCC2 and SLC12A6/KCC3 inhibit their activity, blocking ion efflux (PubMed:16669787, PubMed:19665974, PubMed:21321328). Acts as a regulator of NaCl reabsorption in the distal nephron by mediating phosphorylation and activation of the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter SLC12A3/NCC in distal convoluted tubule cells of kidney downstream of WNK4 (PubMed:18270262). Also acts as a regulator of angiogenesis in endothelial cells downstream of WNK1 (PubMed:23386621, PubMed:25362046). Acts as an activator of inward rectifier potassium channels KCNJ2/Kir2.1 and KCNJ4/Kir2.3 downstream of WNK1: recognizes and binds the RXFXV/I variant motif on KCNJ2/Kir2.1 and KCNJ4/Kir2.3 and regulates their localization to the cell membrane without mediating their phosphorylation (PubMed:29581290). Phosphorylates RELL1, RELL2 and RELT (PubMed:16389068, PubMed:28688764). Phosphorylates PAK1 (PubMed:14707132). Phosphorylates PLSCR1 in the presence of RELT (PubMed:22052202).
