“…TMEM16A is widely expressed in many cells including epithelia, airway and vascular smooth muscle cells, vascular endothelium, cardiac muscles, olfactory sensory neurons, somatosensory neurons interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), and nociceptive neurons (K. Ma, Wang, Yu, Wei, & Xiao, ; U. Oh & Jung, ; H. Wang et al, ). The electrophysiological properties of TMEM16A involve calcium and voltage dependence (Contreras‐Vite et al, ; Cruz‐Rangel et al, ; Terashima, Picollo, & Accardi, ; Xiao et al, ), rectifying properties (K. Ma et al, ), ion selectivity (Peters et al, ; Xiao et al, ), activation kinetics (Contreras‐Vite et al, ; Espinosa et al, ), and rundown (Yu, Zhu, Qu, Cui, & Hartzell, ). In addition, the dysfunction of TMEM16A can lead to many diseases, including various cancers (Cao et al, ), gastrointestinal (GI) disorders (Mazzone et al, ), hypertension (Wang, Li, Huai, & Qu, ), and cystic fibrosis (Sondo, Caci, & Galietta, ).…”
