| Abstract | Identified over a decade ago, the with-no-lysine[K] kinases (WNKs) have been the subsequent focus of intense research into the renal handling of Na(+) , Cl(-) and K(+) and several rare monogenetic diseases. However, the potential extrarenal roles for WNKs have been less well explored. Thiazides and Gordon syndrome are known to have effects on bone mineral density, Ca(2+) and PO4 (3-) homeostasis, which were originally assumed to be an indirect effect through the kidney. However, current data suggest a complex and direct role for WNKs in the physiology of bone. The WNKs also modulate systemic blood pressure at several levels, including the vascular resistance vessels, where they cause vasoconstriction by altering the abundance of the transient receptor potential canonical channel 3 and/or phosphorylation of the Na(+) -K(+) -2Cl(-) cotransporter 1 in vascular smooth muscle cells. The WNKs and many of the cation-coupled Cl(-) cotransporters they regulate are highly expressed in the central nervous system and recent work suggests that WNK dysfunction may have a role in the development of autism, schizophrenia and hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy Type 2. Finally, the WNK-sterile 20 kinase signalling axis represents an evolutionarily ancient mechanism for maintaining osmotic homeostasis, but a rapidly expanding body of evidence also shows a role in immunity and cellular regulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
