TRPC4 Antibody

The short Transient receptor potential channel 4, also known as Trp-related protein 4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRPC4 gene. TRPC4 is a member of the transient receptor potential cation channels. It is mapped to 13q13.3. This protein forms a non-selective calcium-permeable cation channel that is activated by Gq-coupled receptors andtyrosine kinases, and plays a role in multiple processes including endothelial permeability, vasodilation, neurotransmitter release and cell proliferation. TRPC4 also has an essential role in endothelial-dependent regulation of vascular tone, endothelial permeability, and neurotransmitter release from thalamic interneurons.
