Aldosterone reprograms promoter methylation to regulate <i>αENaC</i> transcription in the collecting cuct

Abstract excerpt

Aldosterone increases tubular Na(+) absorption largely by increasing α-epithelial Na(+) channel (αENaC) transcription in collecting duct principal cells. How aldosterone reprograms basal αENaC transcription to high-level activity in the collecting duct is incompletely understood. Promoter methylation, a covalent but reversible epigenetic process, has been implicated in the control of gene expression in health and...
