Abstract excerpt
A common human epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) polymorphism, alphaT663A, is present in the cytoplasmic C terminus of the alpha-subunit, although it is unclear whether this polymorphism segregates with blood pressure. We examined whether this polymorphism was associated with differences in functional Na(+) channel expression. Whole cell amiloride-sensitive currents in Xenopus oocytes expressing wild type channels...
