Crystal structure of the ankyrin repeat domain of the TRPV2Crystal structure of the ankyrin repeat domain of the TRPV2
Structural highlights
2eta is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Rattus norvegicus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
TRPV2_RAT Calcium-permeable, non-selective cation channel with an outward rectification. Seems to be regulated, at least in part, by growth factors, like IGF1, PDGF and morphogenetic neuropeptide/head activator. May transduce physical stimuli in mast cells. Activated by temperatures higher than 52 degrees Celsius; is not activated by vanilloids and acidic pH (By similarity).[1][2]
