Interaction between TRP and Ca2+-activated chloride channels
The transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily includes a large number of proteins that constitute 7 subfamilies (TRPC, TRPV, TRPM, TRPML, TRPN, TRPA and TRPP). These channels have been strongly conserved evolutionarily. The family was first cloned from a mutant Drosophila strain in which receptor potentials in the eye were transient upon light stimulation. There are 27 known channe...
متن کاملCa2+-activated Chloride Channels Go Molecular
With the sequencing of the human genome it turned out that many of the genetically identified genes have an unknown function and one of the major problems of biology is the " annotation " of the genome. But the reverse problem persists, i.e., that for many functionally well-defined proteins the coding gene has not been identified. This reverse problem is difficult to tackle because the molecula...
متن کاملTRP channels and Ca2+ signaling.
There is a rapidly growing interest in the family of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels because TRP channels are not only important for many sensory systems, but they are crucial components of the function of neurons, epithelial, blood and smooth muscle cells. These facts make TRP channels important targets for treatment of diseases arising from the malfunction of these channels in the...
متن کاملStore-operated Ca2+ entry regulates Ca2+-activated chloride channels and eccrine sweat gland function.
Eccrine sweat glands are essential for sweating and thermoregulation in humans. Loss-of-function mutations in the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel genes ORAI1 and STIM1 abolish store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), and patients with these CRAC channel mutations suffer from anhidrosis and hyperthermia at high ambient temperatures. Here we have shown that CRAC channel-deficient patients and...
متن کاملCalcium-activated chloride channels.
Calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) play important roles in cellular physiology, including epithelial secretion of electrolytes and water, sensory transduction, regulation of neuronal and cardiac excitability, and regulation of vascular tone. This review discusses the physiological roles of these channels, their mechanisms of regulation and activation, and the mechanisms of anion select...
