Amiloride is a compound that is widely used in cellular and molecular biology research for its inhibitory effects on certain ion channels and transporters. In laboratory applications, scientists employ amiloride to study the function of epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) in various cell types, as it selectively blocks these channels and helps to elucidate their role in sodium balance and cellular signaling. Additionally, it is used to investigate the mechanisms of ion homeostasis and fluid balance within cells and tissues, providing insights into the fundamental processes governing cell physiology. Researchers may also use amiloride to explore its influence on intracellular pH and the regulation of hydrogen and potassium transport across cell membranes. Furthermore, amiloride is involved in studies pertaining to its effect on the Na+/H+ exchanger, which has implications for understanding the cellular mechanisms related to ion transport and volume regulation.
