TRPC5 polyclonal antibody

Human TRP1 protein is a 793 amino acid cation channel that is expressed in fetal and adult brain and in adult heart, testis and ovary, where it may influence store-operated Ca2+ entry as a component of capacitative calcium entry (CCE) complexes. The brain-specific subunit TRP5 forms a nonselective cation channel with TRP1 in the hippocampus that is activated by Gq-coupled receptors, but not by depletion of
intracellular Ca2+ stores. The gene encoding human TRP5 maps to chromosome Xp23, which also contains loci for nonsyndromic mental retardation and X-linked disorders.
