TRPM

Also found in: Acronyms.

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.

  • TRPM2 is activated by ADP-ribose adenosine 5'-diphosphoribose and functions as a sensor of redox status in cells.[4]
  • TRPM4 and TRPM5 are activated by intracellular calcium.
  • TRPM8 can be activated by low temperatures, menthol, eucalyptol and icilin.[5][6]

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]
