Abstract excerpt
The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is regulated by multiple extracellular stimuli, including shear stress. Previous studies suggest that the extracellular finger domains of ENaC α and γ subunits contain allosteric regulatory modules. However, the role of the finger domain in the shear stress response is unknown. We examined whether mutations of specific residues in the finger domain of the α subunit altered the...
