Calcium-Activated Cl− Channel: Insights on the Molecular Identity in Epithelial Tissues
Calcium-activated chloride secretion in epithelial tissues has been described for many years. However, the molecular identity of the channel responsible for the Ca2+-activated Cl− secretion in epithelial tissues has remained a mystery. More recently, TMEM16A has been identified as a new pu...
