Rabbit anti-Human TRPM7 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q96QT4

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TRPM7

Target Full Name

Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 7

Target Function

Essential ion channel and serine/threonine-protein kinase. Divalent cation channel permeable to calcium and magnesium. Has a central role in magnesium ion homeostasis and in the regulation of anoxic neuronal cell death. Involved in TNF-induced necroptosis downstream of MLKL by mediating calcium influx. The kinase activity is essential for the channel function. May be involved in a fundamental process that adjusts plasma membrane divalent cation fluxes according to the metabolic state of the cell. Phosphorylates annexin A1 (ANXA1).

Target Involvement

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism/dementia complex 1 (ALS-PDC1)

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Protein kinase superfamily, Alpha-type protein kinase family, ALPK subfamily; Transient receptor (TC 1.A.4) family, LTrpC subfamily, TRPM7 sub-subfamily

Target Synonyms

ALSPDC; CHAK; CHAK1; Channel kinase 1; Channel-kinase 1; Long transient receptor potential channel 7; LTrpC-7; LTrpC7; Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 7; TRP PLIK; TRPM7; TRPM7_HUMAN

Target Background

This gene belongs to the melastatin subfamily of transient receptor potential family of ion channels. The protein encoded by this gene is both an ion channel and a serine/threonine protein kinase. The kinase activity is essential for the ion channel function, which serves to increase intracellular calcium levels and to help regulate magnesium ion homeostasis. The encoded protein is involved in cytoskeletal organization, cell adhesion, cell migration and organogenesis. Defects in this gene are a cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism/dementia complex of Guam. The gene may also be associated with defects of cardiac function.
