Abstract
NEDD4-2 (also known as NEDD4L, neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated 4-like) is a ubiquitin protein ligase of the Nedd4 family which is known to bind and regulate a number of membrane proteins to aid in their internalization and turnover. Several of the NEDD4-2 substrates include ion channels, such as the epithelial and voltage-gated sodium channels. Given the critical function of NEDD4-2 in regulating membrane proteins, this ligase is essential for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. In this article we review the biology and function of this important ubiquitin-protein ligase and discuss its pathophysiological significance.Entities:
