Modulation of TRPV4 by diverse mechanisms.

Abstract excerpt

Transient receptor potential ion channels (TRP) are a superfamily of non-selective ion channels which are opened in response to a diverse range of stimuli. The TRP vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel is opened in response to heat, mechanical stimuli, hypo-osmolarity and arachidonic acid metabolites. However, recently TRPV4 has been identified as an ion channel that is modulated by, and opened by intracellular...
