Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) stimulates epithelial sodium channel activity in A6 cells.

Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) is a membrane lipid found in all eukaryotic cells, which regulates many important cellular processes, including ion channel activity. In this study, we used inside-out patch clamp technique, immunoprecipitation, and Western blot analysis to investigate the effect of PIP(2) on epithelial sodium channel activity in A6 cells. A6 cells were cultured in media supplemented with 1.
