Abstract Transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A) forms a plasma membrane-localized Ca2+-activated Cl- channel. Its gene has been mapped to an area on chromosome 11q13, which is amplified in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In HNSCC, TMEM16A overexpression is associated with not only high t...
