Structural biology of the TRPM4 channel: architecture, modulation, and therapeutic opportunities
TRPM4 is a Ca2+-activated, monovalent-selective cation channel that conducts Na+ and K+ while remaining essentially impermeable to Ca2+. By translating cytosolic Ca2+ elevations into membrane depolarization rather than additional Ca2+ influx, TRPM4 operates as an electrical signal converter that tunes excitability, sec...
