First sentence: Ca2+-activated chloride currents (ICl,Ca) have been identified in a wide range of organisms from mammals (Kidd and Thorn, 2000a) to invertebrates (Robertson and Martin, 1996), and in many tissues such as neurons (Frings et al., 2000), muscle (Large and Wang, 1996; Klockner, 1993; Lamb et al., 1994), hepatocytes (Koumi et al., 1994), and secretory epithelia (Begenisich and Melvin, 1998).
