Summary: Enables WW domain binding activity and ligand-gated sodium channel activity. Contributes to sodium channel activity. Involved in intracellular sodium ion homeostasis and sodium ion import across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to aldosterone and sodium ion transport. Located in cytosol and external side of plasma membrane. Part of sodium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including colon; heart; hindgut; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Liddle syndrome; bronchiectasis 2; and pseudohypoaldosteronism. Orthologous to human SCNN1A (sodium channel epithelial 1 subunit alpha).

Epithelial Na(+) channel's (ENaC) able to mediate shear force responsiveness relies on the "force-from-filament" principle involving extracellular tethers and the extracellular matrix. Two glycosylated asparagines, respectively their N-glycans localized in the palm and knuckle domains of alphaENaC, were identified as potential tethers. Endothelial-specific overexpression of alphaENaC in mice induced hypertension.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
