Abstract excerpt
The diuretic drug amiloride and its 5-amino substitute N5-methyl-N5-propylamiloride (MPA) are potent inhibitors of the growth factor-activatable Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1). This inhibitor competes with Na+, presumably by interacting with the ion-transport site of the NHE molecule. As an approach to identify this site, we previously reported the use of a specific H(+)-killing selection technique for...
