TRPM6.

Abstract excerpt

TRPM6 is a bifunctional protein comprising a TRP cation channel segment covalently linked to an α-type serine/threonine protein kinase. TRPM6 is expressed in the intestinal and renal epithelial cells. Loss-of-function mutations in the human TRPM6 gene give rise to hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia (HSH), suggesting that the TRPM6 channel kinase plays a central role in systemic Mg(2+) homeostasis.
