Calcium-activated chloride channels clamp odor-evoked spike activity in olfactory receptor neurons

Abstract The calcium-activated chloride channel anoctamin-2 (Ano2) is thought to amplify transduction currents in olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), a hypothesis supported by previous studies in dissociated neurons from Ano2 −/− mice. Paradoxically, despite a reduction in transduction currents in An...
