TRPC3 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Target Background

transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 3(TRPC3) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein that can form a non-selective channel permeable to calcium and other cations. The encoded protein appears to be induced to form channels by a receptor tyrosine kinase-activated phosphatidylinositol second messenger system and also by depletion of intracellular calcium stores. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011],function:Thought to form a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. Probably is operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors. Activated by diacylglycerol (DAG) in a membrane-delimited fashion, independently of protein kinase C, and by inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate receptors (ITPR) with bound IP3. May also be activated by internal calcium store depletion.,similarity:Belongs to the transient receptor family. STrpC subfamily.,similarity:Contains 5 ANK repeats.,subunit:Interacts with TRPC1. Interacts with ITPR3. Interacts with MX1 and RNF24.,tissue specificity:Expressed predominantly in brain and at much lower levels in ovary, colon, small intestine, lung, prostate, placenta and testis.,
