TRPC Channels and Mental Disorders
2017Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels mediate the influx of different types of cations through the cell membrane and are involved in many functions of the organism. Evidences of involvement of TRPC channels in neuronal development suggest that this family of proteins might play a role in certain neurological disorders.

Physiological mechanisms of TRPC activation
Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2005TRPC (canonical transient receptor potential) channels are vertebrate homologs of the Drosophila photoreceptor channel, TRP. Considerable research has been brought to bear on the seven members of this family, especially with regard to their possible role in calcium entry.

TRPC Channel Downstream Signaling Cascades
2017The family of TRP channel is comprised of a large group of cation-permeable channels, displaying as signaling integrators for sensing extracellular stimulus and initiating intracellular signaling cascades. This chapter offers a brief review of the signaling molecules related to TRPC channels, the first identified mammalian TRP family.

TRPC Channels and Programmed Cell Death
2017Neurotrophins, including nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), bind to their high-affinity receptors to promote neuronal survival during brain development. One of the key downstream pathways is the phospholipase C (PLC) pathway, which not only plays a central role in calcium release from internal store but also in ...

TRPC Channels in Health and Disease
2017This chapter offers a brief introduction of the functions of TRPC channels in non-neuronal systems. We focus on three major organs of which the research on TRPC channels have been most focused on: kidney, heart, and lung. The chapter highlights on cellular functions and signaling pathways mediated by TRPC channels.

TRPC channels in vascular cell function
Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2010SummaryThe mammalian transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of non-selective cation channels can be divided into six major families. Among them, the “classical” or “canonical” TRPC family is most closely related to Drosophila TRP, the founding member of the superfamily.

TRPC Channel Structure and Properties
2017TRPC channels are the first identified members in the TRP family. They function as either homo- or heterotetramers regulating intracellular Ca2+ concentration in response to numerous physiological or pathological stimuli. TRPC channels are nonselective cation channels permeable to Ca2+.

Inositol lipids and TRPC channel activation
Biochemical Society Symposia, 2007The original hypothesis put forth by Bob Michell in his seminal 1975 review held that inositol lipid breakdown was involved in the activation of plasma membrane calcium channels or ‘gates’. Subsequently, it was demonstrated that while the interposition of inositol lipid breakdown upstream of calcium signalling was correct, it was predominantly the ...

The enigmatic TRPCs: multifunctional cation channels
Trends in Cell Biology, 2004Abstract Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels are vertebrate homologs of the Drosophila photoreceptor channel. Considerable research has been carried out on the seven members of this family, particularly regarding their possible role in Ca 2+ entry.
