Abstract excerpt
TMEM16A is a plasma membrane protein with voltage- and calcium-dependent chloride channel activity. The role of the various TMEM16A domains in expression and function is poorly known. In a previous study, we found that replacing the first ATG of the TMEM16A coding sequence with a nonsense codon (M1X mutation), to force translation from the second ATG localized at position 117, only had minor functional...
