Background
The human TRPC6 gene encodes the pore-forming subunit of TRPC6 (transient receptor potential channel, subtype C6), a non-selective, calcium-permeable cation channel. TRPC6 channels, activated via phospholipase C stimulation, are essential to receptor-operated Ca2+ influx in vascular smooth muscle.
