title: Calcium Channels Formed by Mammalian Trp Homologues.
abstract: Homologues of Drosophila trp genes have been isolated from mammalian species in hope that they may constitute the molecular basis of capacitative Ca(2+) entry. Expression of Trps suggests that they form Ca(2+) influx channels regulated by either store depletion or a more upstream event. Store-operated Trp channels can be formed by heteromultimerization.
