Abstract excerpt
Epithelial Na(+) channels (ENaC) participate in the regulation of extracellular fluid volume homeostasis and blood pressure. Channel activity is regulated by both extracellular and intracellular Na(+). The down-regulation of ENaC activity by external Na(+) is referred to as Na(+) self-inhibition. We investigated the structural determinants of Na(+) self-inhibition by expressing wild-type or mutant ENaCs in...
