Gene:
transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C, member 6
Gene ID:
206481
Symbol:
TRPC6
Species:
1000
Description:
Thought to form a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. Probably is operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors. Activated by diacylglycerol (DAG) in a membrane-delimited fashion, independently of protein kinase C. Seems not to be activated by intracellular calcium store depletion.
