NKCC1 coordinates SPAK-PP1 signalling to regulate KCC2 membrane stability and seizure susceptibility.

Chloride homeostasis, and thereby the efficacy of chloride-permeable GABAA receptor signaling, depends on the dynamic balance between NKCC1 (Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter 1) and KCC2 (K+-Cl- cotransporter 2), which respectively mediate chloride influx and extrusion to tightly control...
