Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human TMEM16A, which shares 83.8% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat TMEM16A.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 130 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
anoctamin 1, calcium activated chloride channel. Anoctamin-1 (ANO1), also known as oral cancer overexpressed 2 (ORAOV2) or tumor-amplified and overexpressed sequence 2 (TMEM16A), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ANO1 gene. This gene belongs to a family of membrane proteins containing 8 transmembrane segments, and it is mapped to 11q13.3. ANO1 is a candidate calcium-activated chloride channel that mediates receptor-activated chloride currents in diverse physiologic processes, and it is thought to be responsible for a voltage-sensitive calcium-activated chloride current. Its overexpression was reported in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and breast cancer progression Crofelemer, an antidiarrhoeal, inhibits this channel. ANO1 has eight transmembrane domains, its pore is large and non-selective, allowing other negatively charged species to permeate. Functional note: Calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) which 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. Reported localization: Cell membrane. Expression/tissue context: Broadly expressed with higher levels in liver, skeletal muscle and gastrointestinal muscles.
Research relevance and current trends
- Cell Type Markers: Researchers commonly examine how ANO1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Tags & Cell Markers: Researchers commonly examine how ANO1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Tumor Associated: Researchers commonly examine how ANO1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative ANO1 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of ANO1 across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression; gating strategy and background staining controls are essential.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
