transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 2

Symbol

TRPV2 (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

This gene encodes an ion channel that is activated by high temperatures above 52 degrees Celsius. The protein may be involved in transduction of high-temperature heat responses in sensory ganglia. It is thought that in other tissues the channel may be activated by stimuli other than heat. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
