Regional differences in store-operated Ca2+ entry in the epithelium of the intact human lens [PDF]
, 2009 An elevated level of Ca2+ is an important factor in cataract, yet precisely how Ca2+ enters the lens is unknown. Lens epithelial cells contain a range of G-protein–coupled receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases that induce increases in intracellular Ca2+

Classical Transient Receptor Potential 1 (TRPC1): Channel or Channel Regulator?
Cells, 2014 In contrast to other Classical Transient Receptor Potential TRPC channels the function of TRPC1 as an ion channel is a matter of debate, because it is often difficult to obtain substantial functional signals over background in response to over-expression

Canonical Transient Receptor Potential Channels and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Plasticity
Journal of Lipid and Atherosclerosis, 2020 Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a pivotal role in the stability and tonic regulation of vascular homeostasis. VSMCs can switch back and forth between highly proliferative (synthetic) and fully differentiated (contractile) phenotypes in response

High glucose enhances store-operated calcium entry by upregulating ORAI/STIM via calcineurin-NFAT signalling [PDF]
, 2014 © 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Abstract: ORAI and stromal interaction molecule (STIM) are store-operated channel molecules that play essential roles in human physiology through a coupling mechanism of internal Ca 2+ store to Ca 2+ influx ...

TRPC channel activation by extracellular thioredoxin [PDF]
Nature, 2008 Mammalian homologues of Drosophila melanogaster transient receptor potential (TRP) are a large family of multimeric cation channels that act, or putatively act, as sensors of one or more chemical factor. Major research objectives are the identification of endogenous activators and the determination of cellular and tissue functions of these channels ...

Angiotensin-II-Evoked Ca2+ Entry in Murine Cardiac Fibroblasts Does Not Depend on TRPC Channels
Cells, 2020 TRPC proteins form cation conducting channels regulated by different stimuli and are regulators of the cellular calcium homeostasis. TRPC are expressed in cardiac cells including cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and have been implicated in the development of ...

Emerging Roles of Diacylglycerol-Sensitive TRPC4/5 Channels
Cells, 2018 Transient receptor potential classical or canonical 4 (TRPC4) and TRPC5 channels are members of the classical or canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channel family of non-selective cation channels.

Pathophysiological Role of Caveolae in Hypertension [PDF]
, 2019 Caveolae, flask-shaped cholesterol-, and glycosphingolipid-rich membrane microdomains, contain caveolin 1, 2, 3 and several structural proteins, in particular Cavin 1-4, EHD2, pacsin2, and dynamin 2.

Involvement of TRPC channels in lung cancer cell differentiation and the correlation analysis in human non-small cell lung cancer. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels are Ca(2+)-permeable cationic channels controlling the Ca(2+) influx evoked by G protein-coupled receptor activation and/or by Ca(2+) store depletion. Here we investigate the involvement of TRPCs

TRPC channels as STIM1-regulated SOCs [PDF]
Channels, 2009 Store-operated Ca(2+) channels (SOCs) are Ca(2+) influx channels at the plasma membrane whose opening is determined by the level of Ca(2+) stored in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. SOCs are activated in response to receptor-mediated or passive depletion of ER Ca(2+) to regulate many Ca(2+)-dependent cellular functions.
