Abstract excerpt
The epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) has three subunits; the expression of each can be regulated. Liddle's syndrome is caused by an activating mutation in the C terminus of either the beta or gamma subunit. We used a doxycycline-regulated adenovirus system to express varying levels of human gammaENaC in renal collecting duct (M1 cell) monolayers. Increasing levels of wild type human gamma ENaC (gammahENaC)...
