TRPM7_tetra is a short anti-parallel coiled-coil tetramerisation domain of the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member proteins 1-8. It is held together by extensive core packing and interstrand polar interactions. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels comprise a large family of tetrameric cation-selective ion channels that respond to diverse forms of sensory input. The presence of cytoplasmic domains that direct channel assembly appears to be a feature of many voltage-gated ion channel superfamily members [1].
This domain is found in human Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 2 (TRPM2) and similar proteins. TRPM2 is a nonselective, voltage-independent cation channel that mediates Na+ and Ca2+ influx, leading to increased cytoplasm ...
This domain is found in human Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 2 (TRPM2) and similar proteins. TRPM2 is a nonselective, voltage-independent cation channel that mediates Na+ and Ca2+ influx, leading to increased cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels. It plays a role in mediating behavioural and physiological responses to moderate heat, insulin secretion, dendritic cell differentiation and maturation and the the regulation of the reorganisation of the actin cytoskeleton and filopodia formation. This domain is found associated with Pfam:PF00520 and adopts an all-alpha configuration.
