TRP Channels and Mechanical Signals
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are a unique cellular mechanism converting a wide variety of signals, including mechanical stress, to cation flow. The protein was first discovered in studies that e...

Mechanosensitive Channel TRPV4
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a member of the TRP family that has a 6-transmembrane (TM) segment, was first identified as a hypoosmolality-activated Ca2+ permeable channel. The mechanism o...
