Gene:
transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 2
Gene ID:
203796
Symbol:
TRPV2
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes an ion channel that is activated by high temperatures above 52 degrees Celsius. The protein may be involved in transduction of high-temperature heat responses in sensory ganglia. It is thought that in other tissues the channel may be activated by stimuli other than heat.
