Various stimuli, including hormones and growth factors, modulate epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs), which fine-tune Na(+) absorption in the kidney. Members of the EGF family are important for maintaining transepithelial Na(+) transport, but whether EGF influences ENaC, perhaps mediating salt-sensitive hypertension

Fibrinolysis and pericellular proteolysis depend on molecular coassembly of plasminogen and its activator on cell, fibrin, or matrix surfaces. We report here the existence of a fibrinolytic cross-talk mechanism bypassing the requirement for their molecular coassembly on the same surface.

Hyperactivated DEG/ENaC channels cause neuronal death mediated by intracellular Ca2+ overload. Mammalian ASIC1a channels and MEC-4(d) neurotoxic channels in Caenorhabditis elegans both conduct Na+ and Ca2+, raising the possibility that direct Ca2+ influx through these channels contributes to intracellular Ca2+
