The SLC12A3 gene encodes the thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter (also known as NCC, NCCT, or TSC), which can be found in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney. (wikipedia.org)
It participates in the control of ion homeostasis at the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron. (wikipedia.org)
Thus, loss of NCC function reduces sodium and chloride reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule. (wikipedia.org)
Loss of SLC12A3 has been shown to lead to a shorter distal convoluted tubule, at least in mice. (wikipedia.org)
Therefore, other functions of the distal convoluted tubule might be perturbed as well. (wikipedia.org)

Kidney13
Using the transporter profiling approach, Dr. McDonough and her colleagues have defined how stimuli such as dietary salts, Ang II, kidney injury, and immune cytokines increase renal sodium transport in a region specific manner along the nephron and how resultant hypertension provokes intrarenal responses to decrease sodium reabsorption (via pressure natriuresis), a response that defines the blood pressure set point in the kidney.

Epithelium1
Thiazides like cyclothiazide also inhibit sodiumion transport across the renal tubular epithelium through binding to the thiazide sensitive sodium-chloride transporter. (drugbank.com)
Collecting duct3
Renal losses of hydrogen ions occur whenever the distal delivery of sodium increases in the presence of excess aldosterone, which stimulates the electrogenic epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in the collecting duct. (medscape.com)
Amiloride blocks the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in the late distal tubule, connecting tubule, and collecting duct of the nephron, which both reduces absorption of sodium ion from the lumen of the nephron and reduces excretion of potassium ion into the lumen. (worldsbest.rehab)
These renal vesicles connect the collecting duct and ureter, developing into metanephric nephron progenitors ( Fig. 1 ) [ 8 , 9 ]. (j-organoid.org)

Although the 1-sodium, 2-chloride, 1-potassium co-transporter moves equal amounts of cations and anions into the cell, there is a slight backleak of potas-sium ions into the lumen, creating a positive charge of about +8 millivolts in the tubular lumen. (brainkart.com)
As a diuretic, cyclothiazide inhibits active chloride reabsorption at the early distal tubule via the Na-Cl cotransporter, resulting in an increase in the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water. (drugbank.com)
