The kidney is the major regulator of potassium homeostasis. In addition to the ROMK channels, large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channels are expressed in the apical membrane of the aldosterone sensitive distal nephron where they could contribute to renal K(+) secretion. We studied flow-induced K(+) secretion in BK channel alpha-subunit knockout (BK(-/-)) mice by acute pharmacologic blockade of vasopressin V(2) receptors, which caused similar diuresis in wild-type and knockout mice.
