TMEM16 and OSCA/TMEM63 proteins share a conserved potential to permeate ions and phospholipids

Augustus J Lowry, Pengfei Liang, Mo Song…·Yang Zhang

This study shows that OSCA/TMEM63 proteins, like TMEM16s, can permeate ions and phospholipids, highlighting conserved functional potential across the TCS superfamily.
