Description
Product Characteristics: Transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C, member 7, also known as TRPC7, is a non-selective cation channel that is directly activated by DAG. TrpC7 shows constitutive activity and susceptibility to negative regulation by extracellular Ca2+. Because of this, TrpC7 plays an important role in the Ca2+ signaling pathway (1). TrpC7 is also expressed abundantly in the heart, and combined with its ability to act as a Ca2+ channel, TrpC7 might contribute to the process of heart failure (2).
Target Information: non-selective cation channel\, activated down-stream of G-protein-coupled receptors [RGD, Feb 2006]
