Background: Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 5 (TRPM5) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRPM5 gene. This gene encodes a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) protein family, which is a diverse group of proteins with structural features typical of ion channels. This protein plays an important role in taste transduction, and has characteristics of a calcium-activated, non-selective cation channel that carries Na+, K+, and Cs+ ions equally well, but not Ca (2+) ions. It is activated by lower concentrations of intracellular Ca (2+), and inhibited by higher concentrations. It is also a highly temperature-sensitive, heat activated channel showing a steep increase of inward currents at temperatures between 15 and 35 degrees Celsius. This gene is located within the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome critical region-1 on chromosome 11p15.5, and has been shown to be imprinted, with exclusive expression from the paternal allele.

Immunogen: E.coli-derived human TRPM5 recombinant protein (Position: S1021-Q1108). Human TRPM5 shares 87.5% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse TRPM5.
