Facts about Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 6.
The channel is activated by low internal calcium level, likely including intracellular calcium store depletion, and the present exhibits an inward rectification (PubMed:15184369). Inactivation includes both a rapid Ca(2+)- dependent and a slower Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent mechanism; the latter may be controlled by phosphorylation.

Expressed at high levels in the gastrointestinal tract, including esophagus, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon, and in pancreas, placenta, prostate and salivary gland. Expressed at moderate levels in liver, kidney and testis. Expressed in trophoblasts of placenta villus trees (at protein level)(PubMed:23612980). Expressed in locally advanced prostate cancer, metastatic and androgen-insensitive prostatic lesions but not detected in healthy prostate tissue and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
