Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): 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. .
Scientific background (datasheet): 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 though 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.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic localization seen in neoplastic cells of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumors.
Tissue details (datasheet): Broadly expressed with higher levels in liver, skeletal muscle and gastrointestinal muscles. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Cell Type Markers,Tags & Cell Markers,Tumor Associated.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
