Synthesized peptide derived from the Internal region of human TRPV3.
Alternative Names:
TRPV3, Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 3, TrpV3, Vanilloid receptor-like 3, VRL-3
transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 3(TRPV3) Homo sapiens This gene product belongs to a family of nonselective cation channels that function in a variety of processes, including temperature sensation and vasoregulation. The thermosensitive members of this family are expressed in subsets of sensory neurons that terminate in the skin, and are activated at distinct physiological temperatures. This channel is activated at temperatures between 22 and 40 degrees C. This gene lies in close proximity to another family member gene on chromosome 17, and the two encoded proteins are thought to associate with each other to form heteromeric channels. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012],
