Abstract excerpt
Transient receptor potential melastatin 6 (TRPM6) plays an essential role in epithelial Mg(2+) transport. TRPM6 and its closest homologue, TRPM7, both combine a cation channel with an alpha-kinase domain. However, the role of this alpha-kinase domain in TRPM6 channel activity remains elusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulation of TRPM6 channel activity by intracellular ATP and the involvement...
