Gene information for TRPV3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID162514
Official gene symbolTRPV3
Full nametransient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 3
Aliases,VRL3,
Gene summaryThis gene product belongs to a family of nonselective cation channels that function in a variety of processes, including temperature sensation and vasoregulation. The thermosensitive members of this family are expressed in subsets of sensory neurons that terminate in the skin, and are activated at distinct physiological temperatures. This channel is activated at temperatures between 22 and 40 degrees C. This gene lies in close proximity to another family member (TRPV1) gene on chromosome 17, and the two encoded proteins are thought to associate with each other to form heteromeric channels.
