Functional Characteristics Click here for help
TRPP2 is a nonselective cation channel functionally expressed on primary cilia and/or the plasma membrane depending on cell type. It can form a functional channel with PC1-L1 on primary cilia of retinal pigmented epithelial cells. TRPP2 (PKD2L1) displays calcium dependent activation. Calcium accumulation due to prolonged channel activity may lead to outward-moving Ca2+ ions within the pore to close the channel [2]. TRPP2 permeates K+, Na+ and Ca2+ with the single-channel conductance of 189 pS for K+, 156 for Na+, and 53 pS for Ca2+, respectively [3]. PKD2L1 forms a heteromeric channel with PC-1L3 (PKD1L3) that may be activated by intracellular Ca2+ [10].

Activator Comments
Chen et al [1] expressed human TRPP2 in Xenopus oocytes and proposed increased currents on increasing external or (inferred) internal Ca2+ levels and noted a decrease in channel activity on lowering external pH (7.5>6). TRPP2 and PKD1L3 are coexpressed in sour taste receptor cells of the tongue. Coexpression of the PDK1L3 and TRPP2 is necessary for functional cell surface expression, presumably as a heteromeric complex, where they are activated by acid pH [6].

Clinically-Relevant Mutations and Pathophysiology Comments
TRPP2 is deleted in the Krd mouse. This mouse has defects in structures of the kidney, retina and optic disc, however the Krd deletion is a 7cM transgene-induce deletion on chromosome 19 that includes the Pax2 locus [9].
