TRPC (Transient Receptor Potential Canonical)

TRPC (Transient Receptor Potential Canonical) channels are specialized protein pathways in our cell membranes that allow the flow of calcium and other ions into cells. They play a key role in sensing physical and chemical signals, such as temperature, stretch, or chemical stimuli. By regulating ion entry, TRPC channels help control processes like communication between cells, muscle contraction, and sensory perception. They are essential for maintaining normal cellular functions and responding appropriately to environmental changes. Dysfunctions in TRPC channels can be linked to various health conditions, including cardiovascular, neurological, and immune system disorders.
