CLCA1 Regulates Airway Mucus Production and Ion Secretion Through TMEM16A
TMEM16A, a Ca<sup>2+</sup>-activated chloride channel (CaCC), and its regulator, CLCA1, are associated with inflammatory airway disease and goblet cell metaplasia. CLCA1 is a secreted protein with protease activity that was demonstrated to enhance membrane expression of TMEM16A. Expressi...
