A recent study reports the first high-resolution, cryo-electron microscopy-based structure of zebrafish Na+-K+-Cl− cotransporter 1 (NKCC1). This structure provides important insights into the determinants of ion translocation by NKCC1 and other cation-Cl− cotransporters such as NKCC2. It could thus facilitate the design of drugs to target these transporters individually.
