Technology Overview Monoclonal antibody (7B1) against the α subunit of the human epithelial sodium channel (hENaC). The antibody recognizes the tertiary, 3D epitope of the alpha subunit and is characterized as IgG2 with a kappa light chain. It binds with high affinity and specificity to the respective subunits constituting hENaC.
Epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) are involved in regulating Na+ homeostasis. ENaCs primarily require three different subunits to form a functional channel, α, β and γ.
