    basic FUNCTION
  • transient receptor potential non voltage-channel, Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channels important for neurite outgrowth and growth cone morphology of hippocampal neurons
  • non-specific cation channels activated through phospholipase C-dependent pathways
  • having gating properties that can switch reversibly between voltage-dependent and voltage-independent states
  • activated via G protein-coupled neuronal receptors and has an essential function in innate fear
  • involved in the control of fear-related behaviors, both learned and innate
  • forms Ca2+-activated cation channels that are functionally coupled to Ca2+-selective ion channels through local Ca2+ increases beneath the plasma membrane
  • enriched in the brain, where it is believed to control neurite extension and growth cone morphology
  • TRPC4 and TRPC5 are implicated in important physiological functions, such as growth cone guidance and smooth muscle contraction
  • necessary mediator of pathologic cardiac hypertrophy, in part through a calcineurin–NFAT signaling pathway
  • important components of the mechanism controlling neurite extension and growth cone morphology
  • forms cationic channels either through homomultimeric assembly or heteromultimeric coordination with other TRPC proteins
  • calcium regulation by TRPC5 would play a key role as a switch between proliferation and neuronal differentiation from neural progenitor cells
  • TRPC5 and TRPC6 are antagonistic regulators of actin remodeling and cell motility in fibroblasts and kidney podocytes
  • TRPC5 and TRPC6 channels are now known as the Ca(2+) influx pathways for nonselective, cationic current in podocytes
  • potential TRPC5 function as an innocuous cold transducer in nociceptive and thermosensory nerve endings
  • specific role of TRPC5 in the innocuous range of cold temperature (37–25 °C) that is distinct from noxious cold sensing
  • essential function in the regulation of dendrite patterning in the mammalian brain
  • novel function for TRPC5 that couples calcium signaling to a ubiquitin ligase pathway at the centrosome and thereby orchestrates dendrite patterning and connectivity in the brain
  • TRPC1 and TRPC5 have critical roles in neurite outgrowth
  • suppression of neurite outgrowth by TRPC5 requires the channel function of TRPC5
  • acts downstream of semaphorin signaling to cause changes in neuronal growth cone morphology and nervous system development
  • TRPC4 and TRPC5 channels are important regulators of electrical excitability in both gastrointestinal myocytes and neurons
  • TRPC5 and TRPC1/4 contribute to seizure and excitotoxicity by distinct cellular mechanisms
  • TRPC4 and TRPC5 proteins share 65p100 amino acid sequence identity and form Ca(2+)-permeable nonselective cation channels
  • Ca2+-permeable channel TRPC5 is an important determinant of albuminuria
  • receptor-operated cation channel, has been well recognized as a regulator in the central nervous system
  • functions of TRPC5 in regulating vascular aging
  • contribution of heteromultimeric channels from TRPC1, TRPC4, and TRPC5 subunits to the regulation of mechanisms underlying spatial working memory and flexible relearning by facilitating proper synaptic transmission in hippocampal neurons

  • interacting with C10orf63
  • interacting with the growth cone-enriched protein stathmin 2 (packaged into vesicles and are carried to newly forming growth cones and synapses)
  • SESTD1 is essential for efficient receptor-mediated activation of TRPC5
  • is in a molecular complex with RAC1
  • TRPC1 and TRPC5 have critical roles in neurite outgrowth
  • CAPN1 and CAPN2 cleave and functionally activate TRPC5
  • SEMA3A initiates growth cone collapse via activation of calpain that in turn potentiates TRPC5 activity
  • lipid oxidation products, including lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC), activate canonical TRPC6 channels, and the subsequent increase in intracellular Ca2+ leads to TRPC5 activation

    Ca2+ (Ca2+-dependent activation of TRPC5 channels is coupled to the opening of Ca2+-selective ion channels, and the simultaneous stimulation of membrane receptors leads to a further modulation of the TRPC5 channel currents)
