SCNN1B sodium channel epithelial 1 subunit beta

Gene ID: 6338, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BESC1; ENaCb; SCNEB; LIDLS1; PHA1B2; ENaCbeta; beta-ENaC; beta-NaCH

Summary

Nonvoltage-gated, amiloride-sensitive, sodium channels control fluid and electrolyte transport across epithelia in many organs. These channels are heteromeric complexes consisting of 3 subunits: alpha, beta, and gamma. This gene encodes the beta subunit, and mutations in this gene have been associated with pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1), and Liddle syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
