Abstract excerpt
Amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na+ channels (ENaC) play a crucial role in Na+ transport and fluid reabsorption in the kidney, lung, and colon. The magnitude of ENaC-mediated Na+ transport in epithelial cells depends on the average open probability of the channels and the number of channels on the apical surface of epithelial cells. The number of channels in the apical membrane, in turn, depends on a balance...
