title: TRPM3.
abstract: TRPM3 is the last identified member of the TRPM subfamily and is most closely related to TRPM1. Due to alternative splicing, the TRPM3 gene encodes a large number of different variants. One splice event, affecting the pore-forming region of the channel, changes its selectivity for divalent cations. In this review, we give an overview of the identified TRPM3 variants and compare their functional properties.
