Control of Ion Transport by Tmem16a Expressed in Murine Intestine
Cl– secretion by the human and murine intestinal epithelium occurs through the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr). However, the Ca2+ activated Cl– channel Tmem16a was shown to contribute to Cl– secretion, mainly, but not ...

Regulation of TMEM16A by CK2 and Its Role in Cellular Proliferation
Casein kinase 2 (CK2) is a highly ubiquitous and conserved serine/threonine kinase that forms a tetramer consisting of a catalytic subunit (CK2α) and a regulatory subunit (CK2β). Despite being ubiquitous, CK2 is commonly found at higher expression levels

Cl− channels such as the Ca2+ activated Cl− channel TMEM16A and the Cl− permeable phospholipid scramblase TMEM16F may affect the intracellular Cl− concentration ([Cl−]i), which could act as an intracellular signal.

Gating the pore of the calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A [PDF]
AbstractThe binding of cytoplasmic Ca2+ to the anion-selective channel TMEM16A triggers a conformational change around its binding site that is coupled to the release of a gate at the constricted neck of an hourglass-shaped pore. By combining mutagenesis, electrophysiology, and cryo-electron microscopy, we identified three hydrophobic residues at the ...

TMEM16A Inhibition Preserves Blood–Brain Barrier Integrity After Ischemic Stroke
The inflammatory response plays a pivotal role in Blood–Brain Barrier (BBB) destruction following ischemic brain injury. Enhanced leukocyte adhesion to vascular endothelial cells is an essential event in the inflammatory process.

TMEM16A alternative splicing coordination in breast cancer [PDF]
Abstract Background TMEM16A, also known as Anoctamin-1, is a calcium-activated chloride channel gene overexpressed in many tumors. The role of TMEM16A in cancer is not completely understood and no data are available regarding the potential tumorigenic properties of the multiple isoforms generated by ...

Intestinal TMEM16A control luminal chloride secretion in a NHERF1 dependent manner
TMEM16A (Transmembrane protein 16A or Anoctamin1) is a calcium-activated chloride channel.(CaCC),that exerts critical roles in epithelial secretion. However, its localization, function, and regulation in intestinal chloride (Cl−) secretion remain obscure.

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is mainly formed by brain capillary endothelial cells (BCECs) and is exposed to hypoxic environments under pathological conditions. The effects of hypoxia on the expression and activity of Ca2+-activated Cl− (ClCa) channels,
