It plays a role in ion transport across the cell membrane. TMEM16B is expressed in various tissues most notably in the sensory neurons and the retina where it contributes to the function of sensory systems. Its activity depends on calcium presence allowing the passage of chloride ions which affects membrane potential and cellular signaling.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nTMEM16B influences processes like odor detection and vision. It acts as a component of a larger channel complex involved in the transduction of sensory signals. In olfactory sensory neurons TMEM16B modulates the signaling pathway by which odors lead to nerve impulses making it important for the sense of smell. In the retina it plays a role in photoreceptor signal regulation supporting proper vision.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nProtein TMEM16B interacts within the sensory transduction pathways including the visual and olfactory pathways. In the olfactory system it works with proteins like CNGA2 in the signaling cascade from odorant molecules to neuronal response. In the visual pathway TMEM16B collaborates with proteins involved in the phototransduction cascade impacting the conversion of light into electrical signals necessary for vision.\u003cbr\u003e\nTMEM16B's malfunction links to anosmia and certain retinal degenerations. Alterations in its activity can lead to loss of smell as TMEM16B is necessary for signal propagation in olfactory neurons. In the retina its dysfunction may contribute to degenerative diseases linking with proteins like rhodopsin which plays a role in light detection. Understanding TMEM16B's role provides insight into these sensory disorders potentially guiding therapeutic strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850145747113,"sku":"ab113443","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab113443","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
