title: Regulation of TRP channels by N-linked glycosylation.
abstract: A subset of TRP channel proteins undergoes regulatory N-linked glycosylation. A glycosylation site in the first extracellular loop of TRPV5 is enzymatically cleaved by a secreted glucuronidase, indirectly regulating channel function. Members of the TRPC family share a similar site, although details about a regulatory role are lacking. A second conserved TRP channel glycosylation site is found immediately adjacent to the channel pore-forming loop; both TRPV1 and TRPV4--and perhaps other TRPV family members--are influenced by glycosylation at this site. N-linked glycosylation, and the dynamic regulation of this process, substantially impacts function and targeting of TRP channels.
