Abstract excerpt
TRPM2 proteins belong to the melastatin-related transient receptor potential or TRPM subfamily and form Ca(2+)-permeable cationic channels activated by intracellular adenosine diphosphoribose (ADPR). The TRPM2 channel subunit, like all its close relatives, is structurally homologous to the well-characterized voltage-gated potassium channel subunits, each containing six transmembrane segments and a putative pore...
