TRPM4 transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 4

Gene ID: 54795, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: EKVP6; LTrpC4; PFHB1B; TRPM4B; hTRPM4

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a calcium-activated nonselective ion channel that mediates transport of monovalent cations across membranes, thereby depolarizing the membrane. The activity of the encoded protein increases with increasing intracellular calcium concentration, but this channel does not transport calcium. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
