Gene information for TRPV2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51393
Official gene symbolTRPV2
Full nametransient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 2
Aliases,MGC12549,VRL,VRL-1,VRL1,
Gene summaryThis 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.
