Abstract excerpt
Transient receptor potential channel melastatin subfamily (TRPM) 4 and its close homologue, TRPM5, are the only two members of the large transient receptor potential superfamily of cation channels that are impermeable to Ca(2+). In this study, we located the TRPM4 selectivity filter and investigated possible structural elements that render it Ca(2+)-impermeable. Based on homology with known cation channel pores,...
