TMEM16A is associated with Voltage-gated Calcium Channels in mouse retina and its function is disrupted upon mutation of the auxiliary α2δ4 subunit.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Photoreceptors rely upon highly specialized synapses to efficiently transmit signals to multiple postsynaptic targets. Calcium influx in the presynaptic terminal is mediated by voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC).

TMEM16A blocker as vasorelaxant

, 2013
Background and purposeT16A(inh) -A01 is a recently identified inhibitor of the calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of T16A(inh) -A01 for inhibition of calcium-activated chloride channels in vascular smooth muscle and consequent effects on vascular tone.Experimental approachSingle channel and whole ...

Coumarins attenuate intestinal motility by inhibiting TMEM16A

Die Pharmazie
Transmembrane 16A (TMEM16A) is highly expressed in interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and participates in ICC-mediated rhythmic contractile activity of intestinal smooth muscle. TMEM16A is also expressed in epithelium of intestine with a minor contributor to transepithelial fluid secretion, while other unidentified Ca2+ -activated Cl – channels (unCaCCs)

Modulation of TMEM16A-Channel Activity as Ca2+ Activated Cl− Conductance via the Interaction With Actin Cytoskeleton in Murine Portal Vein

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2014
.: TMEM16A is a major component of Ca2+-activated Cl− channel (CaCC) conductance in murine portal vein smooth muscle cells (mPVSMCs). Here, the regulation of CaCC activity by the actin cytoskeleton was examined in mPVSMCs.

Activation and Inhibition of TMEM16A Calcium-Activated Chloride Channels

PLoS ONE, 2014
Calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCC) encoded by family members of transmembrane proteins of unknown function 16 (TMEM16) have recently been intensely studied for functional properties as well as their physiological roles as chloride channels in various tissues. One technical hurdle in studying these channels is the well-known channel rundown that

Molecular basis of PIP2-dependent regulation of the Ca2+-activated chloride channel TMEM16A

Nature Communications, 2019
The calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) TMEM16A plays crucial roles in regulating neuronal excitability and muscle contraction. Here authors show that phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) regulates TMEM16A channel activation and ...

The Tmem16a chloride channel is required for mucin maturation after secretion from goblet-like cells in the Xenopus tropicalis tadpole skin

Scientific Reports
The TMEM16A chloride channel is proposed as a therapeutic target in cystic fibrosis, where activation of this ion channel might restore airway surface hydration and mitigate respiratory symptoms.
