Presence of the Ca2+-activated chloride channel anoctamin 1 in the urethra and its role in excitatory neurotransmission

open access: yes, 2012
We investigated the cellular distribution of the calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC), anoctamin 1, in the urethra of mice, rats, and sheep by both immunofluorescence and PCR. We studied its role in urethral contractility by examining the effects of

Potentiating TMEM16A does not stimulate airway mucus secretion or bronchial and pulmonary arterial smooth muscle contraction

open access: yesFASEB BioAdvances, 2020
The calcium‐activated chloride channel (CaCC) TMEM16A enables chloride secretion across several transporting epithelia, including in the airways. Additional roles for TMEM16A have been proposed, which include regulating mucus production and secretion and

Disulfide Bond Connectivity and Oligomeric State of Anoctamin-1 [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2013
TMEM16A(a)/anoctamin-1 (Ano1) has been identified as a Ca-activated chloride channel. Using blue native PAGE, SDS-PAGE and chemical cross-linking, we have shown that the mouse Ano1 channel (mAno1) shares an obligate homodimeric architecture with the hCLC-1 channel (Fallah et al. Molecular & Cellular Proteomics 10.1074/mcp. M110.004697, 2011).

MicroRNA-9 downregulates the ANO1 chloride channel and contributes to cystic fibrosis lung pathology

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Downregulation of the anoctamin 1 calcium channel in airway epithelial cells contributes to pathology in cystic fibrosis. Here the authors show that microRNA-9 targets anoctamin 1 and that inhibiting this interaction improves mucus dynamics in mouse ...

Chloride – The Underrated Ion in Nociceptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
In contrast to pain processing neurons in the spinal cord, where the importance of chloride conductances is already well established, chloride homeostasis in primary afferent neurons has received less attention.

Validation of splice altering morpholino knockdown of anoctamin 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Morpholino oligonucleotides (MO) are commonly used to reduce gene expression. MO selectivity is determined by selection of a unique oligonucleotide sequence in the target of interest Suitable targets for splice altering MO are at an intron-exon ...

Generation of two TMEM16A knockout iPSC clones each from a healthy human iPSC line, from a Cystic Fibrosis patient specific line with p.Phe508del mutation and from the gene corrected iPSC line

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2022
The Transmembrane member 16A (TMEM16A), also known as anoctamin-1 (ANO1), is a calcium-activated chloride channel present in the airway epithelium. It is known to be involved in the apical chloride secretion indicating that TMEM16A could be addressed for

Anoctamin 6 regulates C2C12 myoblast proliferation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Anoctamin 6 (Ano6) belongs to a conserved gene family (TMEM16) predicted to code for eight transmembrane proteins with putative Ca2+-activated chloride channel (CaCC) activity.

Presynaptic Localization and Possible Function of Calcium-Activated Chloride Channel Anoctamin 1 in the Mammalian Retina. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Calcium (Ca(2+))-activated chloride (Cl(-)) channels (CaCCs) play a role in the modulation of action potentials and synaptic responses in the somatodendritic regions of central neurons. In the vertebrate retina, large Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) currents (ICl(

Testosterone secretion is affected by receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit and anoctamin 1 activation in mouse Leydig cells

open access: yesJournal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2022
Receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit, a marker found on interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), is expressed in Leydig cells, which are testicular interstitial cells. The expression of other ICC markers has not yet been reported. In this study, we investigated the
