Gene:
transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 6
Gene ID:
196224
Symbol:
TRPV6
Species:
1000
Description:
Calcium-permeable channels, such as TRPV6, participate in neurotransmission, muscle contraction, and exocytosis by providing calcium as an intracellular second messenger. Depending on the tissue, transcellular calcium transport may be regulated by vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH; MIM 168450), or calcitonin (CALCA; MIM 114130).[supplied by OMIM]
