title: Protein-protein interaction and functionTRPC channels.
abstract: Since their identification in the concluding years of the last century, the mammalian transient receptor potential (canonical) (TRPC) channels have remained in the limelight as the primary candidates for the Ca(2+) entry pathway activated by the hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters that exert their effect through activation of PLC. Although TRPC channels have been shown clearly to mediate, at least in part, receptor-activated Ca(2+) entry in literally all cell types, several of their central characteristics, as recorded in expression systems using recombinant channels, differ from those of the native receptor-dependent Ca(2+) influx channels. The present review attempts to highlight the interaction of TRPC channels with other proteins, which may explain the variability of TRPC channel activation and regulatory mechanisms observed with the native and recombinant channels. These include the homologous and heterotopous interactions of TRPC channel isoforms, the interaction of TRPC channels with calmodulin, PLCgamma, IP(3) receptors, and with scaffolding proteins like InaD, EBP50/NEHRF, caveolin, Janctate and Homers.
