epithelial Sodium Channel alpha Small Molecules and Peptides

Epithelial Sodium Channel alpha (SCNN1A) is a subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). ENac has high sodium selectivity, low conductance, and amiloride sensitivity. The functional channel of ENaC is composed of at least 3 subunits, alpha (SCNN1A), beta (SCNN1B), and gamma (SCNN1G). The 3 subunits show sequence similarities to one another, indicating descent from a common ancestral gene. Each encodes a protein containing 2 transmembrane domains, with intracellular amino and carboxyl ...
