Susceptibility
  • to idiopathic membranous glomerulopathy (iMN)
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • a SNP in the promoter region and a missense variant in exon 4 may be putative causal variants for infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
  • 254C->G SNP may predispose individuals to an increased risk of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension
  • genetic variants in TRPC6 might affect susceptibility to development or progression of iMN
  • Candidate gene

    diabete  
    newly-identified ROS/TRPC6 pathway will pave the way to new, promising therapeutic strategies to target kidney diseases such as diabetic nephropathy
    respiratorylung 
    manipulation of TRPC6 function may thus offer a therapeutic strategy for the control of pulmonary hemodynamics and gas exchange
    dermatologyskin 
    activation by hyperforin may represent a new innovative therapeutic strategy in skin disorders characterized by altered keratinocyte differentiation
    cancerbrain 
    key mediator of tumor growth of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and may be a promising therapeutic target in the treatment of GBM
    cardiovascularaquiredheart failure
    . pharmacologic inhibitors of TRPC channels might be a strategy for attenuating local Ca2+ signals involved in pathologic cardiac hypertrophy or failure
    miscelleaneoushypertension 
    TRPC6 channel is a good target for developing novel treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and BI-749327, a selective TRPC6 blocker, is potentially a novel and effective drug for treating PAH
    immunologyinfectious 
    TRPC6 might aggravate SARS COV-2 induced inflammation and could be a target for inhibiting drugs
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • in TRPC6-/- mice, a higher contractility in isolated tracheal and aortic rings was observed following application of the agonists methacholine and phenylephrine, respectively, as well as a reduced agonist-induced expiration rate (
