    cardiovascularaquiredheart failure
    pharmacologic inhibitors of TRPC channels might be a strategy for attenuating local Ca2+ signals involved in pathologic cardiac hypertrophy or failure

    TRPC3 represents a promising target to prevent conduction disturbances
    cardiovascularaquiredheart failure
    may represent a novel target for preventing high salt-induced cardiac damage

    TRPC3 might be a promising target for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) treatment
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • gain-of-function mutation (T635A) in the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel Trpc3 results in abnormal channel gating and causes cerebellar ataxia in the dominant Moonwalker (Mwk) mouse mutant (
  • double Trpc3/Trpc6 knock-out mice showed hearing impairment, vestibular deficits and defective auditory brain stem responses to high-frequency sounds
