Molecular
evidence suggests that store-operated and receptor-operated
|
|
|
channels may be
formed from proteins belonging to the same family,
|
|
|
being the
mammalian homologues of the transient receptor potential
|
|
|
|
(TRP) channels.
|
|
|
| • |
Less clear
whether they form the channels in native smooth muscle
|
|
|
| • |
One putative
model is that TRPC proteins may fall into two classes;
|
|
|
|
one responsive to
receptor activation but not store depletion and the
|
|
|
other responsive
to store depletion.
