Gene:
transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C, member 1
Gene ID:
198058
Symbol:
TRPC1
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. Seems to be also activated by intracellular calcium store depletion.
