Background
- The transient receptor potential (TRP) protein family consists of a diverse group of cation channels functioning in a variety of homeostatic and regulatory pathways. Four subfamilies exist, based on channel domain homology: C type (canonical), V type (vanilloid receptor related), M type (melastatin related) and P type (PKD) (1). TRPV4, belongs to the V type subfamily and plays a role in systemic osmoregulation (2,3). TRPV4 is a calcium channel multi-pass membrane protein activated by various stimuli, including thermal stress, fatty acid metabolites and hypotonicity (3). TRPV4 is highly expressed in lung and kidney and widely expressed in brain. It plays an important role in regulating neural excitability (4).
