Background

Epithelial Sodium Channel alpha (SCNN1A) is a subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). ENac has high sodium selectivity, low conductance, and amiloride sensitivity. The functional channel of ENaC is composed of at least 3 subunits, alpha (SCNN1A), beta (SCNN1B), and gamma (SCNN1G). The 3 subunits show sequence similarities to one another, indicating descent from a common ancestral gene. Each encodes a protein containing 2 transmembrane domains, with intracellular amino and carboxyl termini. The alpha subunit supports sodium conductance when expressed alone; the beta and gamma subunits do not support sodium conductance by themselves, but greatly augment the channel activity when expressed in conjunction with the alpha subunit. ENaC in the kidney, lung and colon plays an essential role in trans- epithelial sodium and fluid balance. ENaC also mediates aldosterone-dependent sodium re-uptake in the distal nephron of the kidney, thus regulating blood pressure. Gain-of-function mutations in beta- or gamma-ENaC can cause severe arterial hypertension (Liddel's syndrome) and loss-of-function mutations in alpha- or beta-ENaC causes pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA-1).

1. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
