Function |
Thought to form a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. Probably is operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors. Activated by diacylglycerol (DAG) in a membrane-delimited fashion, independently of protein kinase C, and by inositol 1,4,5- triphosphate receptors (ITPR) with bound IP3. May also be activated by internal calcium store depletion. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20095964, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8646775, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9417057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9930701}.
