Gene:
transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C, member 5
Gene ID:
202185
Symbol:
TRPC5
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. Has also been shown to be calcium-selective (By similarity). May also be activated by intracellular calcium store depletion.
