1 The Cyp2c44 epoxygenase regulates epithelial sodium channel activity and the blood pressure responses to increased dietary salt. Salts cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily c, polypeptide 23 Mus musculus
2 We show here that lack of a Cyp2c44 epoxygenase causes dietary salt-sensitive hypertension, a common form of the human disease. Salts cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily c, polypeptide 23 Mus musculus
3 Cyp2c44(-/-) mice on normal salt diets are normotensive but become hypertensive when fed high salt. Salts cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily c, polypeptide 23 Mus musculus
4 Cyp2c44(-/-) mice on normal salt diets are normotensive but become hypertensive when fed high salt. Salts cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily c, polypeptide 23 Mus musculus
5 The demonstration that amiloride, an ENaC inhibitor, lowers the blood pressure of hypertensive Cyp2c44(-/-) mice identifies a role for the channel in the hypertensive phenotype of the animals. Amiloride cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily c, polypeptide 23 Mus musculus
