Description
Product Characteristics:
Calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) which plays a role in transepithelial anion transport and smooth muscle contraction. Required for the normal functioning of the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) which generate electrical pacemaker activity in gastrointestinal smooth muscles. Acts as a major contributor to basal and stimulated chloride conductance in airway epithelial cells and plays an important role in tracheal cartilage development.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Cell membrane
Synonyms: DOG1, TAOS2, ORAOV2, TMEM16A, Anoctamin-1, Discovered on gastrointestinal stromal tumors protein 1, Oral cancer overexpressed protein 2, Transmembrane protein 16A, Tumor-amplified and overexpressed sequence 2, ANO1
Target Information: Acts as a calcium-activated chloride channel. Required for normal tracheal development (By similarity)
