Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that IkappaB kinase-beta (IKKbeta) interacts with the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) beta-subunit and enhances ENaC activity by increasing its surface expression in Xenopus oocytes. Here, we show that the IKKbeta-ENaC interaction is physiologically relevant in mouse polarized kidney cortical collecting duct (mpkCCDc14) cells, as RNA interference-mediated knockdown of endogenous IKKbeta in...
