Figure 4.

Model of a putative amiloride-sensitive sodium channel (ENaC). The amiloride-sensitive sodium channel appears to consist of the α-, β- and γ- subunits and an amiloride-binding protein. This channel is located at the apical site of the renal epithelium and plays a role in passive sodium transport, which is mainly regulated by mineralocorticoids (79).
