Abstract excerpt
We have studied the modulation of gating properties of the Ca2+-permeable, cation channel TRPV4 transiently expressed in HEK293 cells. The phorbol ester 4alphaPDD transiently activated a current through TRPV4 in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Increasing the concentration of extracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+](e)) reduced the current amplitude and accelerated its decay. This decay was dramatically delayed in the...
