Entrez gene ID | | 51393 |
Official gene symbol | | TRPV2 |
Full name | | transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 2 |
Aliases | | ,MGC12549,VRL,VRL-1,VRL1, |
Gene summary | | This gene encodes an ion channel that is activated by high temperatures above 52 degrees Celsius. The protein may be involved in transduction of high-temperature heat responses in sensory ganglia. It is thought that in other tissues the channel may be activated by stimuli other than heat.
