    basic FUNCTION
  • Ca2+-activated and voltage-dependent Ca2+-impermeable cation channel
  • implicated in physiological processes including T-cell activation, myogenic vasoconstriction, and cardiac function
  • playing a pivotal role in modulation of store-operated Ca2+ via interaction with TRPC3
  • exceptional in that it is one of only two ion channels known in the mammalian genome that conduct monovalent cations exclusively and nonselectively
  • controls insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cells, and may regulate calcium influx by causing the depolarization that drives the activation of voltage-dependent calcium channels
  • is a critical mediator of pressure-induced membrane depolarization and arterial constriction
  • TRPM4 is an important regulator of smooth muscle cell membrane depolarization and arterial constriction in response to intraluminal pressure
  • TRPM2, TRPM4 and TRPM5 control insulin secretion levels by sensing intracellular Ca2+ increase, NAD metabolites, or hormone receptor activation
  • ABCC8 and TRPM4 have an intrinsic capacity for stable co-association
  • TRPM4 and TRPM5 are both N-linked glycosylated at a unique site and also suggest that TRPM4/5 glycosylation seems not to be involved in channel trafficking, but mainly in their functional regulation
  • is potentially an important regulator of Ca2+ signals generated by histamine in adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) and is required for adipogenesis
  • cell surface expression of TRPM4 channels is mediated by YWHAG binding, and the specific inhibition of this trafficking process can be a potential therapeutic target for glutamate-induced neuronal cell death
  • functions as a Ca(2+)-activated non-selective cation channel and constitutes a novel regulator of ventricular contractility
  • contributes to the regulation of driving force for store-operated calcium entry and thereby the activation of the calcineurin-NFAT pathway and the development of pathological cardiac hypertrophy
  • PLCB3, INPP5J interact with N-terminus region of TRPM4 channel
  • is a Ca2+-activated non-selective cationic channel (Ca2+-NSCC) that conducts monovalent but not divalent cations

    a component
  • ABCC8 and TRPM4 co-assemble to form the unique ABCC8-TRPM4 channel
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with TRPC3 (regulates negatively the channel activity, in turn suppressing store-operated Ca2+ entry through the TRPC3 channel)
  • ABCC8 controls K(ATP) channel activity but not TRPM4 channels
  • is a binding partner for TRPM4
