| Abstract | The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) present in the kidney collecting duct, distal colon, and the lung is responsible for salt reabsorption and whole body volume regulation. It is composed of three homologous subunits, α, β, and γ, and mutations to these subunits can lead to the salt wasting disease pseudohypoaldosteronism type I, associated with decreased channel density at the plasma membrane or to the hypertensive disorder, Liddle's syndrome, in which channel residency time at the plasma membrane is enhanced. Regulation of ENaC trafficking and turnover is therefore critical to sodium homeostasis. In this study we examined whether ENaC is present in the cholesterol-enriched microdomains commonly called lipid rafts, in the endogenously expressing A6 cell line. We demonstrate that a fraction of α, β, and γ ENaC is present in detergent-insoluble membranes, that subunits exist in membranes that float on discontinuous sucrose density gradients, and that methyl-β-cyclodextrin treatment causes a redistribution of ENaC subunits to higher density membranes. Furthermore, chronic aldosterone stimulation results in a shift in the membrane density of all three subunits. Biotinylation of apical membrane proteins revealed that ENaC is present in lipid rafts on the plasma membrane. In conclusion, these results show that ENaC is present in lipid rafts both intracellularly and on the cell surface. Raft association may be important for trafficking and/or function of the channel. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
