Mammalian TRPM channels

Name Regulation/function Phosphoinositide effects
TRPM1 Mutation causes night
blindness in humans
No phosphoinositide effect reported yet
TRPM2 Activated by ADP ribose Poly-lysine inhibits, and PI(4,5)P2 re-activates in excised
patches (Toth and Csanady, 2012)
TRPM3 Heat, pregnenolon sulphate No phosphoinositide effect reported yet
TRPM4 Intracellular Ca2+ activates,
non-selective Ca2+
impermeable cation channel
PI(4,5)P2 activates in excised patches (Zhang et al., 2005;
Nilius et al., 2006)
TRPM5 Intracellular Ca2+ activates
non-selective Ca2+
impermeable cation channel
PI(4,5)P2 activates in excised patches (Liu and Liman, 2003)
TRPM6 Mg2+ transporter, mutation
causes human disease
PI(4,5)P2 activates in excised patches, rapamycin-inducible 5
phosphatase and ciVSP inhibits (Xie et al., 2011)
TRPM7 cAMP, shear stress,
plays important roles in
development
PI(4,5)P2 activates in excised patches, activation of PLC
inhibits (Runnels et al., 2002).
PI(4,5)P2 is needed for the activity of the cardiac magnesium-
inhibited TRPM7-like channels (Gwanyanya et al., 2006).
Role of PLC mediated inhibition is challenged (Takezawa et al., 2004;
Langeslag et al., 2007)
TRPM8 Cold, Menthol PI(4,5)P2 activates in excised patches (Liu and Qin, 2005;
Rohacs et al., 2005; Yudin et al., 2011)
PI(4,5)P2 depletion inhibits (rapamycin, ciVSP), plays a role in
desensitization (Rohacs et al., 2005; Daniels et al., 2009;
Yudin et al., 2011)
PI(4,5)P2 but not PI(4)P activates in planar lipid bilayers
(Zakharian et al., 2009; Zakharian et al., 2010)
PI(4,5)P2 regulates temperature threshold (Fujita et al., 2013)
