Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila light activated channel TRP is the founding member of a large and diverse family of channel proteins that is conserved throughout evolution. These channels are Ca2+ permeable and have been implicated as important component of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis in neuronal and non-neuronal cells. The power of the molecular genetics of Drosophila has yielded several mutants in which constitutive activity of...
