Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein that can form a non-selective channel permeable to calcium and other cations. The encoded protein appears to be induced to form channels by a receptor tyrosine kinase-activated phosphatidylinositol second messenger system and also by depletion of intracellular calcium stores. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

Forensic Context

A study in mice and humans identified the TRPC1 as a top biomarker with sustained decreasing expression in leukocytes from the early to late recovery phases following severe burn injury [Xu et al. DOI:10.1159/000493451]. In a separate cross-species analysis of sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction, the TRPC1 was mentioned as a gene previously confirmed to regulate the condition but was not experimentally studied in that investigation [Yao et al. DOI:10.1016/j.ygeno.2024.110911].
