Abstract excerpt
The epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) mediates Na(+) transport across high resistance epithelia. This channel is assembled from three homologous subunits with the majority of the protein's mass found in the extracellular domains. Acid-sensing ion channel 1 (ASIC1) is homologous to ENaC, but a key f...
