Mechanisms and consequences of casein kinase II and ankyrin-3 regulation of the epithelial Na+ channel
Abstract Activity of the Epithelial Na+ Channel (ENaC) in the distal nephron fine-tunes renal sodium excretion. Appropriate sodium excretion is a key factor in the regulation of blood pressure. Consequently, abnormalities in ENaC function can cause hypertension. Casein Kinase II (CKII) phosphorylate...
