Abstract excerpt
Cl(-) efflux through Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels (CaCCs) in secretory epithelial cells plays a key role in the regulation of fluid secretion. The fluid and electrolyte secretion is closely related to intracellular pH. CaCCs have been known to be inhibited by intracellular acid. However, the molecular mechanism for the inhibition remains unknown. Anoctamin 1 (ANO1) is a Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel that...
