Expression of TMEM16A and SLC4A4 in Human Pancreatic Islets [PDF]
Stimulation of insulin release by D-glucose is accompanied by Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) efflux from pancreatic islet cells. The efflux of these anions may involve volume-regulated anion channels, including possibly TMEM16A, and the Na(+)-HCO(3)(-)-cotransporter SLC4A4.

TMEM16A chloride channel does not drive mucus production
Despite being essential for airway hydration, TMEM16A is not required for mucus (MUC5AC) production. Cell proliferation is the main driver for TMEM16A up-regulation during inflammation.

Epithelial Chloride Transport by CFTR Requires TMEM16A [PDF]
AbstractCystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) is the secretory chloride/bicarbonate channel in airways and intestine that is activated through ATP binding and phosphorylation by protein kinase A, but fails to operate in cystic fibrosis (CF).

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

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 ...

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 ...

TMEM16A as a potential treatment target for head and neck cancer
Transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A) forms a plasma membrane-localized Ca2+-activated Cl- channel. Its gene has been mapped to an area on chromosome 11q13, which is amplified in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

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.
