Heteromeric TRP Channels in Lung Inflammation

Activation of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels can disrupt endothelial barrier function, as their mediated Ca<sup>2+</sup> influx activates the CaM (calmodulin)/MLCK (myosin light chain kinase)-signaling pathway, and thereby rearranges the cytoskeleton, increases endothelial p...

Interestingly, TRP channel subunits can build heterotetramers, whereas heteromeric TRPC1/4, TRPC3/6 and TRPV1/4 are expressed in the lung endothelium and could be targeted as a protective strategy to reduce endothelial permeability in pulmonary inflammation.
