Western blotting confirmed that the TMEM16A channel was present in MNSE identifying the protein with a molecular weight of approximately 114 kDa (A). Co-localization of TMEM16A (red) and type IV Beta-tubulin (cilia – green) was also performed in HSNE to determine whether the channel is present on the apical membrane. Apical localization of TMEM16A was verified in HSNE at the base of the cilia (B).
