Abstract excerpt
The paralogues TRPV5 and TRPV6 belong to the vanilloid subfamily of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of ion channels, and both play an important role in overall Ca2+ homeostasis. The functioning of the channels centers on a tightly controlled Ca2+-dependent feedback mechanism in which the direct binding of the universal Ca2+-binding protein calmodulin (CaM) to the channel's C-terminal tail is...
