Smooth muscle cell polycystin 1 (PKD1) is dispensable for physiological regulation of arterial contractility

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 15, Page 6348-6368, 1 August 2026.
Abstract figure legend Physiological functions of PKD1, a large transmembrane polycystin protein, are unclear. Previous results obtained using germline non‐specific knockout mice suggested that PKD1 regulates arterial smooth muscle cell contractility.

Triterpenoid glycosides from the rhizomes of Allium ascalonicum and their anoctamin-1 inhibitory activity

open access: yes, 2020
Ten triterpenoid glycosides including two undescribed compounds (1 and 2) were isolated from the methanol extract of Allium ascalonicum rhizomes. These compounds were structurally elucidated to be 3β-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-19α ...

Relationship Between Central Sensitization and Genetic Polymorphisms—A Case–Control Study in Fibromyalgia

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pain, Volume 30, Issue 6, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterised by widespread chronic pain, which is believed to be mediated by a state of central sensitisation (CS). Based on the hypothesis that CS itself could have genetic determinants, our aim was to further explore this pathway.

Salivary Extracellular Vesicles: Paradigm Shift in Liquid Biopsy Diagnostics

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs), lipid bilayer nanoparticles released by virtually all cells, serve as essential messengers for intercellular communication. Due to their involvement in several pathophysiological processes, EVs have recently gained considerable attention as potentially diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for various illnesses ...

Anoctamin 2/TMEM16B: A calcium-activated chloride channel in olfactory transduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In vertebrate olfactory transduction, a Ca2+-dependent Cl- efflux greatly amplifies the odorant response. The binding of odorants to receptors in the cilia of olfactory sensory neurons activates a transduction cascade that involves the opening of cyclic ...

Cell-specific mechanisms of TMEM16A Ca2+-activated chloride channel in cancer

open access: yesMolecular 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.

Utilisation of Deep Neural Networks for Estimation of Cajal Cells in the Anal Canal Wall of Patients with Advanced Haemorrhoidal Disease Treated by LigaSure Surgery

open access: yesCells
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) play a key role in gastrointestinal smooth muscle contractions, but their relationship with anal canal function in advanced haemorrhoidal disease (HD) remains poorly understood. This study uses deep neural network (DNN)

Effects of the Calcium-Activated Chloride Channel Inhibitors T16Ainh-A01 and CaCCinh-A01 on Cardiac Fibroblast Function

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) regulate numerous physiological processes including cell proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix secretion. T16Ainh-A01 and CaCCinh-A01 are selective inhibitors of CaCCs.

Anoctamin pharmacology

open access: yes
: TMEM16 proteins, also known as anoctamins, are a family of ten membrane proteins with various tissue expression and subcellular localization. TMEM16A (anoctamin 1) is a plasma membrane protein that acts as a calcium-activated chloride channel.
