short transient receptor potential channel 7 (TrpC7, TRP7 protein, TRP7)

Function

• receptor-activated non-selective Ca+2 permeant cation channel
• linked to phosphatidylinositol second messenger system (putative)
• activated by receptor tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors (putative)
• activated by diacylglycerol
• activated by intracellular Ca+2 store depletion

Structure

• belongs to the transient receptor family, STrpC subfamily
• contains 4 ANK repeats

Compartment

membrane
