Abstract excerpt
The epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) plays a critical role in Na(+) absorption, and mutations in this channel cause diseases of Na(+) homeostasis, including a genetic form of hypertension (Liddle's syndrome). To investigate cAMP-mediated stimulation of ENaC, alpha, beta, and gammaENaC were coexpressed in Fischer rat thyroid epithelia to generate apical Na(+) channels and transepithelial Na(+) current. cAMP...
