uter medulla: inner medulla of 1:0.45:0.23 for, 1:0.72:0.48 for, and 1:0.78:1.08 for. However, in the cortex most of the mass consists of proximal tubules that do not express the channels. Similarly in the outer medulla the most abundant tubules are from the thick ascending limb and are also devoid of ENaC. Pfaller ( 19 ) estimated the contribution of volume comprised of collecting duct and connecting tubules to be 2.5% in the cortex, 5.3% in the outer medulla, and 13% in the inner medulla. Factoring the values above by these percentages, the relative abundance of -ENaC in the collecting duct system is cortex
uter medulla:inner medulla = 1:0.34:0.09. The high expression in the cortex probably reflects that in the connecting tubules, which have the largest channel activity per cell that we measured ( 5 ) and are likely to have a correspondingly high expression of ENaC protein ( 21 ). The inner medulla has both the lowest channel-mediated currents and the lowest specific expression of ENaC..
