Functional Characteristics Click here for help
TRPM31235: γ = 83 pS (Na+ current), 65 pS (Ca2+ current); conducts mono and di-valent cations non-selectively (PCa/PNa = 1.6) TRPM3α1: selective for monovalent cations (PCa/PCs~0.1);
TRPM3α2: conducts mono- and di-valent cations non-selectively (PCa/PCs = 1-10);
In- and outwardly rectifying currents by co-application of pregnenolone sulphate and clotrimazole or single application of CIM0216 [6,22]. Activated by clotrimazole but not by pregnenolone sulphate [5].
