TRPV
TRPV is a family of transient receptor potential cation channels (TRP channels) in animals. All TRPVs are highly calcium selective.
TRP channels are a large group of ion channels consisting of six protein families, located mostly on the plasma ...
. It is the first selective inhibitor to be developed for TRPV5, and may be useful for modulating calcium reabsorption in the kidneys.
