Transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 7, also known as TRPM7, is a human
gene encoding a protein of the same name.
Function
TRPs, mammalian homologs of the
Drosophilatransient receptor potential (trp) protein, are
ion channels that are thought to mediate capacitative calcium entry into the cell. TRP-PLIK is a protein that is both an ion channel and a
kinase. As a channel, it conducts calcium and monovalent cations to
depolarize cells and increase intracellular calcium. As a kinase, it is capable of
phosphorylating itself and other substrates. The kinase activity is necessary for channel function, as shown by its dependence on intracellular
ATP and by the kinase mutants.[5]
