Degenerin/Epithelial Na+ Channel Proteins: Components of a Vascular Mechanosensor

Mechanosensitive ion channels are thought to mediate stretch-induced contraction in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs); however, the molecular identity of the mechanosensitive ion channel complex is unknown. Although recent reports suggest degenerin/epithelial Na channel (DEG/ENaC) proteins may be...
