Transient Receptor Potential Channels and Calcium Signaling [PDF]
Transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channels play diverse roles in cellular Ca2+ signaling. First, as Ca2+-permeable channels that respond to a variety of stimuli, TRP channels can directly initiate cellular Ca2+ signals. Second, as nonselective cation channels, TRP channel activation leads to membrane depolarization, influencing Ca2+ influx via ...

Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) Channels in Drug Discovery: Old Concepts & New Thoughts
2017 marks the 20th anniversary of the molecular cloning by David Julius and colleagues (1997) of the long sought-after capsaicin receptor, now known as TRPV1 (Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1) [1].

A nongenomic mechanism for progesterone-mediated immunosuppression: Inhibition of K+ channels, Ca2+ signaling, and gene expression in T lymphocytes [PDF]
The mechanism by which progesterone causes localized suppression of the immune response during pregnancy has remained elusive. Using human T lymphocytes and T cell lines, we show that progesterone, at concentrations found in the placenta, rapidly and ...

Transient receptor potential channels in Alzheimer's disease
Cognitive impairment and emotional disturbances in Alzheimer's disease (AD) result from the degeneration of synapses and neuronal death in the limbic system and associated regions of the cerebral cortex. An alteration in the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) results in increased production and accumulation of amyloid beta ...

Junctate is a key element in calcium entry induced by activation of InsP3 receptors and/or calcium store depletion [PDF]
In many cell types agonist-receptor activation leads to a rapid and transient release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores via activation of inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (InsP(3)) receptors (InsP(3)Rs).

TRP Channels as Molecular Targets to Relieve Endocrine-Related Diseases
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are polymodal channels capable of sensing environmental stimuli, which are widely expressed on the plasma membrane of cells and play an essential role in the physiological or pathological processes of cells as ...
