Protein samples were separated using 4–15% gradient polyacrylamide gels (Criterion TGX Precast Protein Gels, BioRad) and transferred electrophoretically to PVDF membranes. Immunoblotting was performed using standard methods and the following primary antibodies: rabbit polyclonal antibodies against NCC (SPC-402D, StressMarq), phosphorylated Threonine-58 NCC (pT58-NCC) (Pedersen et al., 2010 (link)), Nedd4-2 (Kamynina et al., 2001 (link)), phosphorylated Serine373 SPAK/Serine325 OSR1 (pS373-SPAK) (07–2273, Sigma), SPAK/OSR1 (Moriguchi et al., 2005 (link)), Kir4.1 (APC-035, Alomone), Kir5.1 (LS-C177333, LS Bio), Proteasome 20S (ab3325, Abcam) and Actin (A2066, Sigma) plus a mouse monoclonal NCC antibody (Kortenoeven et al., 2021 (link)). Blots were developed using SuperSignal West Femto chemiluminescent substrate (Thermo Scientific, Denmark) or Amersham ECL Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE Healthcare) detection and the intensity of the bands were quantified using Image Studio Lite (Qiagen) densitometry analysis.
