Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRPV2gene.[5][6]
Function
This gene encodes an ion channel that is activated by high temperatures above 52 °C. 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.[7]
History
TRPV2 was independently discovered by two research groups and described in 1999. It was identified in the lab of David Julius as a close homolog of TRPV1, the first identified thermosensitive ion channel.[5] The group of Itaru Kojima from Gunma University was looking for a protein which is responsible for the entry of calcium into cells in response to insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Upon stimulation of cells with IGF-1 TRPV2 translocates towards and integrates into the cell membrane and increases intracellular calcium concentrations.[8]
