V(2)A(2)lidating TRP channel heteromers

Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels play a key role in sensing environmental and endogenous stimuli. Among sensory neurons, different TRP channels are widely expressed, and their expression profiles overlap. Although many TRP channels are homotetramers, we have shown that a functional te...

Sumario:Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels play a key role in sensing environmental and endogenous stimuli. Among sensory neurons, different TRP channels are widely expressed, and their expression profiles overlap. Although many TRP channels are homotetramers, we have shown that a functional tetrameric TRP channel can contain two types of monomers.
