A summarized scheme of how HypoMg causes seizures and death. Upregulated TRPM7 kinase function by HypoMg induces seizures and death in mice, accompanied with kinase phosphorylation (p-PKCα/δ and p-Pyk2), RyR2 phosphorylation (p-RyR2), MCU overexpression, inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain. Inhibition of TRPM7 kinase by a K1646R mutation prevents all these HypoMg-induced changes. HypoMg hypomagnesemia, TRPM7 transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M 7, p-PKC phosphorylated protein kinase C, p-RyR2 phosphorylated ryanodine receptor 2, MCU mitochondrial calcium uniporter, p-Pyk2 phosphorylated protein tyrosine kinase 2; ↑, increased; Ͱ, inhibition.
