Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 5 (TRPV5)

Constitutively active calcium selective cation channel thought to be involved in Ca(2+) reabsorption in kidney and intestine (PubMed:11549322, PubMed:18768590). Required for normal Ca(2+) reabsorption in the kidney distal convoluted tubules (By similarity).

The station is triggered by low internal calcium level and the present exhibits an inward rectification (PubMed:11549322, PubMed:18768590). A Ca(2+)-dependent feedback law includes fast channel inactivation and slow current decay (By similarity).
