CATEGORY

transport channel

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,membrane
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endoplasmic reticulum
text	localized intracellularly, and only a small fraction appears in the cell membrane
	located in the apical membranes of epithelial cells in exocrine glands and trachea
	is localized at the apical and lateral membranes of polarized epithelia
	ANO1 appeared to be retained in the cell body, ANO2 was targeted to the dendritic tree

basic FUNCTION	having an essential function expressed in the airway and foregut epithelia
	being an intrinsic constituent of the calcium-dependent chloride channel
	may also have a function during proliferation and apoptotic cell death
	mediates a G-protein-coupled receptors-activated chloride current
	confers Ca2+ activated Cl- conductance
	role of ANO1 in cell proliferation is important for the progression of the cell cycle at the G1/S checkpoint
	important factor for the control of mucociliary clearance in airways
	important role for Ca2+-dependent Cl- transport in a number of epithelial tissues
	required for rhythmic contraction of the stomach smooth muscle
	might serve as the downstream effector of calcium release from internal stores, as well as calcium influx, and cause depolarization leading to further calcium influx and activation of voltage-gated ion channels that is likely to be crucial for smooth muscle functions in a wide range of tissues
	predominant role in ATP-stimulated chlore secretion in biliary epithelium
	functions as a calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC)
	minor contributor to total, time-integrated CaCC current in airway and intestinal epithelia
	both CFTR and ANO1 are separate molecular entities that show functional and molecular interaction
	associates with the signaling/scaffolding proteins ezrin, radixin, moesin, and RHOA, which link the plasma membrane to the cytoskeleton
	performs important functions in nonepithelial tissues including pacemaker activity in the gut and regulation of vascular and airway smooth muscle tone
	may play a role in organization of the actin cytoskeleton, and actin cytoskeleton and its associated regulatory proteins could be implicated in ANO1 function by modulating ANO1 channel gating, directing the trafficking ANO1 to the apical membrane, or assembling ANO1 into signaling networks
	chloride channels in general and ANO1 in particular are involved in the regulation of proliferation
	GPR39 might modulate gut motility via regulating ANO1 function in fibroblast-like cells (FLCs)
	ANO6 is an essential component of a Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel with a Ca(2+) sensitivity that is distinct from that of ANO1/ANO2 and that it is not related to volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying Cl(-) channel (VSOR) activity
	ANO6 constitutes a Ca(2+)-activated anion channel or a pore-forming subunit of an anion channel with properties distinct from ANO1
	association of ANO1 with other proteins, such as calmodulin, is not required for its function
	ANO1 and ANO6 use a similar mechanism for sorting to plasma membrane and protein stabilization, but their functional domains significantly differ
	ANO1/TMEM16A regulates primary ciliogenesis
	is a Ca(2+) -activated Cl(-) channel expressed in the collecting ducts
	is responsible for most of the iodide efflux across the apical membrane of thyroid cells
	ANO1 and ANO2 regulate diverse processes including mucus secretion, neuronal excitability, smooth muscle contraction, olfactory signal transduction, and cell proliferation
	role for ANO1 in shaping the plasma membrane during oogenesis, with broad implications for the regulation of microvilli in epithelia
	ANO1 overexpression promotes cancer cell proliferation and migration
	promotes cell proliferation and migration of tumor cells
	ANO1 is responsible for basolateral Ca2+-dependent Cl- secretion in RPE, whereas ANO6 and ANO10 may have different functions, such as modulating Ca2+ signals
	ANO1, and ANO2 are plasma membrane proteins with Ca2+-dependent Cl- channel function
	is a contributor to tumor progression by limiting apoptosis and as a potential biomarker of more aggressive disease
	confers calcium-activated chloride channel activity which is of importance for various cellular functions in secretory epithelia and involved in secretion-dependent renal cyst growth
	may be involved in ureteric bud branching and proper nephron endowment
	ANO1 and TMEM147, both in novel, replicated loci, are expressed in the gallbladder and gastrointestinal tract, regulating gastrointestinal motility

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

text	TMEM16A is a candidate Ca2+-activated chloride channel that mediates receptor-activated chloride currents in diverse physiological processes

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	crucial component of epithelial volume-regulated Cl- channels
	specifically forms a homodimer
	regulation of anion fluxes in insulin-producing cells may involve both SLC4A4 and ANO1
	ANO1, ANO2 are subunits of Ca2+-activated Cl&
	8722; channel (CaCC)
	functioned as a Ca2+-activated Cl- channel in endothelial cells

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacts with both large and small GTPases, calcium binding proteins, kinases, and lipid-modifying enzymes
	CLCA1 stabilizes TMEM16A on the cell surface, thus increasing surface expression, which results in increased calcium-dependent chloride currents
	directly bound with CYBB and reduced the degradation of CYBB through the proteasome-dependent degradation pathway
	TRPV1 interacts with ANO1, also called TMEM16A, in primary sensory neurons and this interaction enhanced TRPV1-mediated pain sensation

cell & other

REGULATION

activated by	intracellular Ca2+
	activated by ATP through an increase in intracellular Ca2+ and a Ca2+-independent mechanism engaging extracellular-regulated protein kinases (ERK1/2)

Other	activated through nucleotides binding P2 receptors on the apical membrane
	lipids and fatty acids regulate ANO1 channels through a membrane-delimited protein-lipid interaction
	COPB1 negatively regulates ANO1 surface expression
