Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 cation channel kinase new player in angiotensin II–induced hypertension [PDF]
, 2016 Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) is a bifunctional protein comprising a magnesium (Mg2+)/cation channel and a kinase domain. We previously demonstrated that vasoactive agents regulate vascular TRPM7.
