Disease

TRPC3_HUMAN The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function

TRPC3_HUMAN 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. Activated by diacylglycerol (DAG) in a membrane-delimited fashion, independently of protein kinase C, and by inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptors (ITPR) with bound IP3. May also be activated by internal calcium store depletion.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
