Pathogenicity of autoreactive TH17 cells is modulated by the TRPM7 kinase
The melastatin-like transient receptor potential channel, TRPM7, is crucial for signaling in leukocytes. It harbors a channel domain, permeable to divalent cations as well as a serine/threonine α-kinase, phosphorylating inter alia SMAD2. TRPM7 kinase activity is essential for the differentiation of non-pathogenic T hel...
