Collecting duct-specific endothelin B receptor knockout increases ENaC activity

Collecting duct (CD)-derived endothelin-1 (ET-1) acting via endothelin B (ETB) receptors promotes Na(+) excretion. Compromise of ET-1 signaling or ETB receptors in the CD cause sodium retention and increase blood pressure. Activity of the epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) is limiting for Na(+) reabsor...
