The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The calcium‐activated chloride (ClCa) channel TMEM16A (also known as ANO1) plays critical roles in ion transport, neurotransmission and smooth muscle contraction. Dysregulation of TMEM16A channel activity contributes to the development and progression of various diseases.

Evolution and functional divergence of the anoctamin family of membrane proteins [PDF]
, 2010 Background: The anoctamin family of transmembrane proteins are found in all eukaryotes and consists of 10 members in vertebrates. Ano1 and ano2 were observed to have Ca(2+) activated Cl-channel activity.

Inhibition of ANO1/TMEM16A Chloride Channel by Idebenone and Its Cytotoxicity to Cancer Cell Lines. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The expression levels of anoctamin 1 (ANO1, TMEM16A), a calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC), are significantly increased in several tumors, and inhibition of ANO1 is known to reduce cell proliferation and migration.

Update on cellular expression and function of ANO1 channels in urethral smooth muscle
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Activation of ANO1 channels and resulting Cl− efflux are suggested to modulate urethral smooth muscle contractility by enhancing Ca2+ influx via voltage‐dependent Ca2+ entry and resulting contraction in urethral smooth muscle cells.

Anoctamin 5 (ANO5) Muscle Disorders: A Narrative Review
, 2022 Anoctaminopathy-5 refers to a group of hereditary skeletal muscle or bone disorders due to mutations in the anoctamin 5 (ANO5)-encoding gene, ANO5. ANO5 is a 913-amino acid protein of the anoctamin family that functions predominantly in phospholipid ...

Cell-specific mechanisms of TMEM16A Ca2+-activated chloride channel in cancer
Molecular Cancer, 2017 TMEM16A (known as anoctamin 1) Ca2+-activated chloride channel is overexpressed in many tumors. TMEM16A overexpression can be caused by gene amplification in many tumors harboring 11q13 amplification.

Multiple Sclerosis and Viruses: « Liaisons Dangereuses »
Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex, multifactorial neurodegenerative disease with an aetiology that is still partially elusive. Several risk factors are associated with MS development including genetic predisposition and various environmental stressors; however, recently, viral infections have gained significant attention as a crucial ...

The calcium-activated chloride channel Anoctamin 1 contributes to the regulation of renal function [PDF]
Kidney International, 2014 The role of calcium-activated chloride channels for renal function is unknown. By immunohistochemistry we demonstrate dominant expression of the recently identified calcium-activated chloride channels, Anoctamin 1 (Ano1, TMEM16A) in human and mouse proximal tubular epithelial (PTE) cells, with some expression in podocytes and other tubular segments ...
