Target Information

Trpc6 forms a receptor-activated calcium channel in the cell membrane. The Trpc6 channel is activated by diacylglycerol and is thought to be under the control of a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system. Activation of the Trpc6 channel occurs independently of protein kinase C and is not triggered by low levels of intracellular calcium.
Defects in the Trpc6 gene are a cause of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 2 (FSGS2).
Trpc6 is a member of the mammalian transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily, divided into three major families including the “canonical TRP” (TRPC) family. The seven members of this family share activation through PLC-coupled receptors and are components of receptor-regulated cation channels in different cell types.
Members of the TRPC3/6/7 subfamily can be activated by diacylglycerol (DAG) analogs, suggesting a possible mechanism of activation by PLC-coupled receptors. When expressed in transfected cells, Trpc6 acts as a non-selective store-independent receptor-activated cation channel, activated by DAG in a PKC-independent manner and insensitive to IP3 activation.
There is increasing evidence that Trpc6 encodes endogenous DAG-activated receptor-operated cation channels in vivo.
Diseases associated with TRPC6 include Glomerulosclerosis, Focal Segmental, 2 and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis.
