TRPC5

TRPC5 (Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel Subfamily C Member 5) is a protein that functions as an ion channel, specifically part of the TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) channel family. These channels are involved in various physiological processes, including the sensation of touch, temperature, and pain, as well as other functions related to cell signaling. TRPC5 is primarily known for its role in mediating calcium (Ca²⁺) influx into cells when activated.
