Short transient receptor potential channel 5

UniProtKB accession:  Q9UL62

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Forms a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel (PubMed:16284075, PubMed:38959890). Probably is operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors. Has also been shown to be calcium-selective (By similarity). May also be activated by intracellular calcium store depletion. Mediates calcium-dependent phosphatidylserine externalization and apoptosis in neurons via its association with PLSCR1 (By similarity). Acts on distinct neuronal populations in the hypothalamus to regulate innate behaviors including feeding, anxiety (flight/fight/fear), socialization, and maternal care (By similarity).
