Gamma subunit second transmembrane domain contributes to epithelial sodium channel gating and amiloride block.

Abstract excerpt

The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is comprised of three homologous subunits. Channels composed solely of α- and β-subunits (αβ-channels) exhibit a very high open probability (Po) and reduced sensitivity to amiloride, in contrast to channels composed of α- and γ-subunits or of all three subunits (i.e., αγ- and αβγ-channels). A mutant channel comprised of α- and β-subunits, and a chimeric γ-subunit where the...
