Abstract excerpt
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins form cation-conducting ion channels with currently 28 known genes encoding TRP channel monomers in mammals. These monomers are thought to coassemble to form homo- or heterotetrameric channels, but the signals governing their assembly are unknown. Within the TRPV subgroup, TRPV5 and TRPV6 show exclusive calcium selectivity and play an important role in calcium uptake. To...
