Summary

Water transport via aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is a critical determinant of urine volume. Antidiuretic hormone vasopressin activates renal PKA that phosphorylates AQP2, leading to AQP2 translocation from intracellular vesicles to the plasma membrane. We found that LRBA was essential for AQP2 phosphorylation. We furthermore identified that the LRBA–PKA interaction is a drug target for polyuria.
