Description This volume draws together studies on the diverse group of calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCS) in one comprehensive format. The
characteristics of CaCCs identified in a number of different systems are described by experts in the field. Channels discussed include
those described in cardiac, neuronal, endothelial and epithelial systems, in addition to sections on the CaCC of Xenopus Oocytes and the newly identified family of CLCA proteins.
Audience
Cell biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, electrophysiologists, biophysicists, membrane transport physiologists, tumor and cell
biologists, researchers working on epithelial chloride transport, and researchers working on cardiac and somatosensory physiology.
