Functional Characteristics Click here for help
γ = 15-25 pS; conducts monovalent cations selectively (PCa/PNa = 0.05); strong outward rectification; slow activation at positive potentials, rapid inactivation at negative potentials; activated and subsequently desensitized by [Ca2+]I
Ion Selectivity and Conductance Comments
Nonselective for monovalent cations, impermeable to divalent cations. Average single-channel conductance of mTRPM5 is 20-25 pS [8,23]. Instantaneous single-channel conductance is linear [23].

Holding voltage: -80.0 – 80.0 mV
Activator Comments
Desensitisation of TRPM5 is modulated by PIP2, which acts as a co-factor for activation [14]. Human TRPM5 expressed in HEK293 cells is sensitive to rapid but not slow elevations in Ca2+ [23]. Arachidonic acid (10µM) activates mouse Trpm5 in transfected HEK293 cells [20]. Flash photolysis of caged IP3 activates mTrpm5 current in whole-cell but not excised patches [30].

In a calcium uncaging experiment mouse Trpm5 is activated with a time constant (τ) of 1.9ms at 100mV [28].

Channel Blocker Comments
TRPM5 is sensitive to pH below 7.0, with complete block at around pH 5.9 [15]. Histidines in the pore region (His-934) and a glutamate in the S3-S4 extracellular linker (Glu-830) enhance sensitivity to proton block [15].
Immunopharmacology Comments
Expressed on mouse B cells [21].
