Analysis of sodium self-inhibition of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) using classical and medium-throughput automated two-electrode voltage-clamp recordings

Abstract The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is a key regulator of electrolyte homeostasis and blood pressure. A characteristic ENaC feature is sodium self-inhibition (SSI), a rapid autoregulatory mechanism in which extracellular Na + ions allosterically bind ENaC and facilitate...
