Degenerin/epithelial sodium channel(DEG/ENaC)superfamily of ion channels consists of diverse members of non-voltage-gated,amiloride-sensitive,sodium-selective cation channels,and were found in the 1990s.DEG/ENaCs,with variable activation mechanisms,are involved in various physiological and pathological process,such as cystic fibrosis,anxiety and epilepsy,which makes them potential drug targets for various disease.Here,we summarize the knowledge of structure,the specific activation mechanisms,the in...
