    motifs/domains
  • four ANK repeats
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine trp7
    intraspecies homolog to TRPC3 and TRPC6, which are also activated by DAG
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • transient receptor family
  • STRPC subfamily
  • CATEGORY receptor membrane , transport channel
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text mostly associated to the surface of the spermatogenic cells
    basic FUNCTION
  • forming a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel
  • enhancing calcium influx independently of store depletion
  • may influence sperm motility
  • calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) conducting channel, during proliferation of human osteoblasts
  • receptor-operated 1,2-diacylglycerol-activated channel in keratinocytes
  • would play important roles in Ca2+ signaling pathway through these characteristic features
  • additional function of TRPC3, and TRPC7 may be to enhance secretion either by affecting transport through the Golgi stack or by increasing fusion at the plasma membrane
  • necessary mediator of pathologic cardiac hypertrophy, in part through a calcineurin
  • NFAT signaling pathway

    REGULATION
    activated by by diacylglycerol (DAG), one of the PLC products, having high sequence homology with TRPC3 and TRPC6, which are also activated by DAG
    either Ca(2+) store depletion or phospholipase C activation
    Other expression and activity of TRPM7 is modulated by extracellular Mg2+ and Ca2+ availability, indicating that TRPM7 channels are involved in intracellular ion homeostasis and proliferation of osteoblasts
