title: Ca(2+)-Activated Cl(-) Channels: A Newly Emerging Anion Transport Family.
abstract: A new family of Cl(-) channels widely expressed in epithelia has been identified. These proteins are associated with Ca(2+)-sensitive conductive Cl(-) transport when heterologously expressed. This family may underlie the Ca(2+)-mediated Cl(-) conductance responsible for rescue of the cystic fibrosis knockout mouse from significant airway disease.
