TRPM



TRPM is a family of transient receptor potential ion channels where the "M" stands for "melastatin".[1] Functional TRPM channels are believed to be tetramers.[2]

Unlike the TRPC and TRPV sub-families, TRPM subunits do not contain N-terminal ankyrin repeat motifs but, rather, contain entire functional proteins in their C-termini. TRPM6 and TRPM7, for example, contain functional α-kinase segments, which are a type of serine/threonine-specific protein kinase.

Permeability and activation

The relative permeability of calcium and magnesium varies widely among TRPM channels.

  • TRPM4/5 are impermeable to calcium.
  • TRPM3/6/7 are highly permeable to both calcium and magnesium.

The mechanism of activation also varies greatly among TRPM channels.

  • TRP2 is activated by Adenosine diphosphate ribose and heat.
  • TRPM2 is a sensor of redox status in cells.[3]
  • TRPM4/5 are activated by intracellular calcium and heat.
  • TRPM8, conversely, can be activated by low temperatures, menthol, eucalyptol and icilin.[4][5]

Functions

Among the functional responsibilities of the TRPM channels are:

  • sensory transduction in taste cells (TRPM5).
  • regulation of magnesium reabsorption in the kidneys and absorption in the intestines (TRPM6).[6]

Genes

  • TRPM1, TRPM2, TRPM3, TRPM4, TRPM5, TRPM6, TRPM7, TRPM8
