ab53212 (2µg/ml) staining TMEM16A in human liver (left panel) using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus). Using this protocol there is strong staining of hepatocyte cell membrane.
Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that, for manual staining, optimization of primary antibody concentration and incubation time is recommended. Signal amplification may be required.

Western blot : Anti-ANO1 antibody (ab53212) staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab53212 was shown to bind specifically to ANO1. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Supplementary information

TMEM16A also known as ANO1 is a transmembrane protein functioning as a calcium-activated chloride channel. It plays a significant role in the regulation of membrane potential and fluid secretion. TMEM16A has a molecular mass of approximately 114 kDa. This protein is expressed in various tissues including airway epithelial cells intestinal epithelium and smooth muscle cells. Its expression is also noticeable in parts of the nervous system indicating its widespread physiological importance.
Biological function summary

TMEM16A contributes to processes such as epithelial fluid transport and smooth muscle contraction. It is an integral component of a calcium-sensitive chloride conductance. This channel regulates ion transport across epithelial cell membranes influencing fluid secretion in airways and gastrointestinal tracts. In blood vessels TMEM16A helps control vascular tone by mediating smooth muscle cell contraction which is dependent on intracellular calcium levels.

Pathways

TMEM16A interacts with key cellular signaling cascades especially the calcium signaling pathway. This interaction has critical implications for chloride conductance in epithelial cells and smooth muscle function. TMEM16A is linked with proteins like calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) which further modulates its activity. Additionally TMEM16A is implicated in pathways regulating mucin secretion which involves other proteins like cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).

TMEM16A plays a role in respiratory diseases like asthma and cystic fibrosis where dysregulation in chloride channels leads to abnormal mucus secretion and airway obstruction. It also relates to hypertension due to its role in vascular tone modulation. Research shows TMEM16A interacts with proteins like CFTR in cystic fibrosis affecting chloride transport and fluid balance. In hypertension its interaction with calcium-sensing proteins further complicates vascular responsiveness and pressure regulation.

Target data

Calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) (PubMed : 20056604, PubMed : 22178883, PubMed : 22946059, PubMed : 32487539). 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. Required for CFTR activation by enhancing endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) store release and is also required for CFTR membrane expression (PubMed : 28963502). Required for basal and ATP-dependent mucus secretion in airways and intestine, probably by controlling exocytosis of mucus-filled granules by providing Ca(2+) to an apical signaling compartment (By similarity). Contributes to airway mucus expression induced by interleukins IL3 and IL8 and by the asthma-associated protein CLCA1 and is required for expression of mucin MUC5AC (PubMed : 33026825). However, was shown in another study not to be required for MUC5AC expression (PubMed : 31732694). Plays a role in the propagation of Ca(2+) waves in Kolliker's organ in the cochlea and contributes to the refinement of auditory brainstem circuitries prior to hearing onset (By similarity). In vomeronasal sensory neurons, modulates spontaneous firing patterns in the absence of stimuli as well as the firing pattern of pheromone-evoked activity (By similarity). Responsible for calcium-activated chloride channel activity in type I taste cells of the vallate papillae (By similarity). Acts as a heat sensor in nociceptive neurons (By similarity). In dorsal root ganglion neurons, plays a role in mediating non-histaminergic Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor (MRGPR)-dependent itching, acting as a downstream effector of MRGPRs (By similarity). In the developing brain, required for the Ca(2+)-dependent process extension of radial glial cells (By similarity).. Isoform 4. Calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC). Contributes to calcium-activated chloride secretion in human sweat gland epithelial cells. Shows increased basal chloride permeability and decreased Ca(2+)-induced chloride permeability.. Isoform 5. Calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC). Shows increased sensitivity to intracellular Ca(2+).
