Hecht, Gail, and Athanasia Koutsouris. Myosin regulation of NKCC1: effects on cAMP-mediated Cl2 secretion in intestinal epithelia. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Cell Physiol. 46): C441–C447, 1999.—The basally located actin cytoskeleton has been demonstrated previously to regulate Cl2 secretion from intestinal epithelia via its effects on the Na1-K1-2Cl2 cotransporter (NKCC1). In nontransporting epitheli...
