Abstract excerpt
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel is a ubiquitously expressed Ca2+-permeable ion channel that controls intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) homeostasis in various types of cells. The physiological roles for TRPV4 are tissue specific and the mechanisms behind this specificity remain mostly unclarified. It is noteworthy that mutations in the TRPV4 channel have been associated to a broad...
