Abstract excerpt
Epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) are assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) from alpha, beta, and gamma subunits, each with two transmembrane domains, a large extracellular loop, and cytoplasmic amino and carboxyl termini. ENaC maturation involves transit through the Golgi complex where Asn-linked glycans are processed to complex type and the channel is activated by furin-dependent cleavage of the alpha...
