Abstract excerpt
The epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) is a multimeric membrane protein consisting of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma. The total number of subunits per functional channel complex has been described variously to follow either a tetrameric arrangement of 2alpha:1beta:1gamma or a higher-ordered stoichiometry of 3alpha:3beta:3gamma. Therefore, while it is clear that all three ENaC subunits are required for full...
