TMEM16A, a calcium-activated chloride channel involved in multiple cellular processes, is implicated in various diseases, but its pharmacology remains poorly understood. Here, the authors combine cryo-EM and electrophysiology to elucidate the mechanism of TMEM16A inhibition by the pore blocker 1PBC.
