Target Information

Epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) are amiloride-sensitive members of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel (Deg/ENaC) superfamily of ion channels. These channels possess two short intracellular amino and carboxyl termini, two membrane-spanning segments, and a large extracellular loop with a conserved cysteine-rich region.
There are three homologous isoforms of ENaC: alpha, beta, and gamma. ENaC in kidney, lung, and colon plays an essential role in trans-epithelial sodium and fluid balance and mediates aldosterone-dependent sodium reabsorption in the distal nephron, thus regulating blood pressure.
ENaC is partly regulated through association with the CFTR chloride ion channel. Gain-of-function mutations in beta- or gamma-ENaC can cause severe arterial hypertension (Liddel’s syndrome), while loss-of-function mutations in alpha- or beta-ENaC cause pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA-1).
