British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was the first noxious heat‐sensitive channel discovered. In rodents, its role is robust in the heat response of the cell body of polymodal nociceptors, but surprisingly small in that of the peripheral terminals in the skin.

Anoctamin‐1 is expressed and functional in the Pulmonary Vascular Endothelium
The FASEB Journal, 2013 Background and Objective The expression and functional role of Anoctamin‐1 (ANO1), a Ca2+ activated Cl channel in the endothelial cells (EC) is unclear. We sought to confirm the presence of ANO1 in the pulmonary vascular EC (PVEC) and the effect of ANO1 activation on EC membrane potential (Vm).

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.

Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...

TMEM16A channel signalling microdomains in the regulation of vascular function
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of TMEM16A channel signalling microdomains. Calcium influx or calcium release from the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) activates TMEM16A channels through interactions with regulatory proteins in vascular smooth muscle cells or endothelial cells. TMEM16A channel activation drives chloride efflux,

Anoctamin 1, a multi-modal player in pain and itch
Cell CalciumAnoctamin 1 (ANO1/TMEM16A) encodes a Ca2+-activated Cl- channel. Among ANO1's many physiological functions, it plays a significant role in mediating nociception and itch. ANO1 is activated by intracellular Ca2+ and depolarization. Additionally, ANO1 is activated by heat above 44 °C, suggesting heat as another activation stimulus.

Calcium‐activated chloride channels in pericytes and their role in regulating organ blood flow
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Pericytes are microvascular mural cells with diverse roles. Contractile pericytes directly regulate local perfusion, while non‐contractile pericytes coordinate upstream vascular contractility via propagating electrical signals.
