TRPV4 channels are expressed in many cell types, with particular abundance in sensory and spinal neurons (1). TRPV4 channels play a role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, by facilitating transmembrane Ca transport in response to various stimuli, including thermal stress, fatty acid metabolites, and hypotonicity (2). Mutations in the gene have consequently been attributed to a variety of pathological conditions. For example, constitutively active TRPV4 mutants can lead to excess Ca influx, resulting in toxicity and degeneration of peripheral nerves (3). TRPV4-dependent Ca influx was also shown to mediate strain-induced and TGFβ1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), suggesting a mechanistic role for TRPV4-mediated Ca transport in fibrosis and oncogenesis (4). Consistent with this, studies in capillary endothelial cells showed that mechanical strain-induced Ca influx through TRPV4 promote focal adhesion and stress fiber remodeling, mediated specifically through integrins, PI3K, and downstream kinases including Rho and ROCK (5).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nBCYM3; CMT2C; HMSN2C; Osm-9-like TRP channel 4; OSM9-like transient receptor potential channel 4; osmosensitive transient receptor potential channel 4; OTRPC4; SMAL; SPSMA; SSQTL1; Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 4; transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 4; Transient receptor potential protein 12; TRP12; TRPV4; Vanilloid receptor-like channel 2; Vanilloid receptor-like protein 2; vanilloid receptor-related osmotically activated channel; Vanilloid receptor-related osmotically-activated channel; VR-OAC; VRL-2; VRL2; VROAC\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M Mk\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 95-102\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799843360937,"sku":"65893S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-65893s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
