[TRIC channel and hypertension].

Abstract excerpt

TRIC channel subtypes form bullet-shaped homo-trimeric assemblies and behave as K (+) channels in intracellular membrane systems. The pathophysiological defects observed in knockout mice suggest that TRIC channels mediate counter-K (+) movements to facilitate Ca(2 +) release from intracellular stores in various cell types. In vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) , Ca(2 +) release mediated by ryanodine receptors...
