Short description: Family of transport proteins

TRPM is a family of transient receptor potential ion channels (M standing for wikt:melastatin).[1] Functional TRPM channels are believed to form tetramers.[2] The TRPM family consists of eight different channels, TRPM1–TRPM8.[3]

Unlike the TRPC and TRPV sub-families, TRPM subunits do not contain N-terminal ankyrin repeat motifs but, rather, contain entire functional proteins in their C-termini. TRPM6 and TRPM7, for example, contain functional α-kinase segments, which are a type of serine/threonine-specific protein kinase.

Permeability and activation

The relative permeability of calcium and magnesium varies widely among TRPM channels.

The mechanism of activation also varies greatly among TRPM channels.

Functions

Among the functional responsibilities of the TRPM channels are:

  • regulation of calcium oscillations after T cell activation[7] and prevention of cardiac conduction disorders (TRPM4).[8]
  • modulation of insulin secretion and sensory transduction in taste cells (TRPM5).[9]
  • cold sensation (TRPM8).
  • heat sensation and inflammatory pain (TRPM3).[10]
  • regulation of magnesium reabsorption in the kidneys and absorption in the intestines (TRPM6).[11]
  • regulation of cell adhesion (TRPM7).[12]
