ABSTRACT: The transient receptor potential vanilloid type-2 (TRPV2), belonging to the transient receptor potential channel family, is a specialized ion channel expressed in human and other mammalian immune cells. This channel has been found to be expressed in CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells, where its cytosolic Ca2+ activity is crucial for stem/progenitor cell cycle ... Continue Reading

STUDY: Loss of TRPV2 Homeostatic Control of Cell Proliferation Drives Tumor Progression
ABSTRACT: Herein we evaluate the involvement of the TRPV2 channel, belonging to the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid channel family (TRPVs), in development and progression of different tumor types. In normal cells, the activation of TRPV2 channels by growth factors, hormones, and endocannabinoids induces a translocation of the receptor from the endosomal compartment to ... Continue Reading
