Abstract excerpt
Degenerin/epithelial Na(+) channels (DEG/ENaCs) are voltage-independent Na(+) or Na(+)/Ca(2+) channels expressed in many tissues and are needed for a wide range of physiological functions, including sensory perception and transepithelial Na(+) transport. In the nervous system, DEG/ENaCs are expressed in both neurons and glia. However, the role of glial vs. neuronal DEG/ENaCs remains unclear. We recently reported...
