Transient receptor potential melastatin 3

From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history

Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 3 or TRPM3 is a non-selective ion channel permeable to both calcium and magnesium. Impaired activity of TRPM3 function is a potential biomarker for ME/CFS.[1] TRPM3 may also be used to refer to the gene for TRPM3.

Function

Members of the Transient Receptor Potential family, including TRPM3, are cation-selective channel proteins which allow the transport of cations across cell membranes into cells.[2] Calcium plays a crucial role in cellular processes, and the importance of TRP proteins in brain homeostasis and dysregulation in pathology is well-known.[3] Structurally, TRP proteins consist of four adjacent subunits which form pores for ion transport. The Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin subfamily is a subdivision of TRPs with identified roles in regulating senses, including vision (TRPM1), taste (TRPM5), and nociception (TRPM2, TRPM3, TRPM8).[4] In comparison, TRPM3 is less well-studied in terms of function, but mutations in the protein have been increasingly recognized as playing a role in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Of note, TRPM3 has many subunit-forming isoforms, which are variants produced by alternative splicing of exons from the mRNA transcribed from the Trpm3 gene. Characterization of the TRPM3 proteoform family is difficult due to the number of variants, with different combinations of subunits altering permability and selectivity for ions such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and other molecules which serve as agonists or antagonists.[4]
