TRPV6 Polyclonal Antibody

function:Calcium selective cation channel probably involved in Ca(2+) uptake in various tissues, including Ca(2+) reabsorption in intestine. The channel is activated by low internal calcium level, probably including intracellular calcium store depletion, and the current exhibits an inward rectification. Inactivation includes both, a rapid Ca(2+)-dependent and a slower Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent mechanism, the latter may be regulated by phosphorylation. In vitro, is slowly inhibited by Mg(2+) in a voltage-independent manner. Heteromeric assembly with TRPV5 seems to modify channel properties. TRPV5-TRPV6 heteromultimeric concatemers exhibit voltage-dependent gating.,online information:TRPV6 entry,PTM:Glycosylated.,PTM:Phosphorylation by PRKCA at the calmodulin binding site delays channel inactivation.,similarity:Belongs to the transient receptor family. TrpV subfamily.,similarity:Contains 5 ANK repeats.,subunit:Homotetramer and probably heterotetramer with TRPV5. Interacts with TRPV5. Interacts with S100A10 and probably with the ANAX2-S100A10 heterotetramer. The interaction with S100A10 is required for the trafficking to the plasma membrane. Interacts with BSPRY (By similarity). Interacts with calmodulin.,tissue specificity:Expressed at high levels in the gastrointestinal tract, including esophagus, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon, and in pancreas, placenta, prostate and salivary gland. Expressed at moderate levels in liver, kidney and testis. Expressed in locally advanced prostate cancer, metastatic and androgen-insensitive prostatic lesions but not detected in healthy prostate tissue and benign prostatic hyperplasia.,
