摘要: The activation mechanism of the recently cloned human transient receptor potential vanilloid type 6 (TRPV6) channel, originally termed Ca2+ transporter-like protein and transporter 1, was investigated in whole-cell patch-clamp experiments using transiently transfected embryonic kidney rat basophilic leukemia cells. TRPV6-mediated currents are highly Ca2+-selective, show a strong inward rectification, reverse at positive potentials, which is similar to store-operated entry electrically nonexcitable gating TRPV6 channels strongly dependent on cytosolic free concentration; lowering intracellular concentration results influx, current amplitude correlates with EGTA or BAPTA concentration. This also case for absence extracellular divalent cations; compared endogenous nontransfected cells, these monovalent reveal differences reversal potential, slope very negative potentials. Release stored Ca2+by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and/or sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin appears not be involved channel both cell lines but, readily activates release-activated current. In conclusion, TRPV6, expressed cells functions as Ca2+-sensing independently procedures known deplete stores.
