Mammalian TRPC channels and drosophila orthologues,

Name Regulation/function Phosphoinositide effects
dTRPL Activated downstream of PLC,
drosophila vision
PI(4,5)P2 inhibits in excised patches (Estacion et al., 2001)
PI(4,5)P2 activates but PI(4)P and PI inhibits in excised
patches (Huang et al., 2010)
TRPC1 Activated downstream of PLC PI(4,5)P2 activates in excised patches, native cells (Saleh et al., 2009b, a;
Shi et al., 2012)
TRPC3 Activated downstream of PLC,
DAG activates
PI(4,5)P2 activates in excised patches, expression system
(Lemonnier et al., 2008)
VSP inhibits (Imai et al., 2012; Itsuki et al., 2012)
TRPC4 Activated downstream of PLC TRPC4α but not TRPC4β is inhibited by PI(4,5)P2, whole cell
patch clamp (Otsuguro et al., 2008)
TRPC4β is inhibited by PI(4,5)P2 depletion (rapamycin-
inducible phosphatase) (Kim et al., 2013)
TRPC5 Activated downstream of PLC, PI(4,5)P2 activates in excised patches, but inhibits in whole
cell, PI(4,5)P2 depletion may inhibit or activate it
(Trebak et al., 2009)
PI(4,5)P2 inhibits desensitization in whole-cell patch clamp
(Kim et al., 2008b)
PI(4,5)P2 activates in excised patch in complex with TRPC1 in
native cells, but inhibits in the absence of TRPC1
(Shi et al., 2012)
TRPC6 Activated downstream of PLC,
DAG activates
PI(4,5)P2 activates in excised patches (expression system)
(Lemonnier et al., 2008)
VSP inhibits (Imai et al., 2012; Itsuki et al., 2012)
PI(4,5)P2 inhibits in excised patches (native smooth muscle
cells) (Albert et al., 2008; Ju et al., 2010)
Extracellular PI(4,5)P2 enhances its activity in platelets
(Jardin et al., 2008)
Calmodulin inhibits by displacing PI(3,4,5)P3
(Kwon et al., 2007)
TRPC7 Activated downstream of PLC,
DAG activates
PI(4,5)P2 activates in excised patches, expression system
(Lemonnier et al., 2008)
VSP inhibits (Imai et al., 2012; Itsuki et al., 2012)
PI(4,5)P2 inhibits in excised patches, native channels
(Ju et al., 2010)
