Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V and breast cancer

Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V (TRPV) channels play important roles in a variety of cellular processes. One example includes the sensory role of TRPV1 that is sensitive to elevated temperatures and acidic environments and is activated by the hot pepper component capsaicin. Another example is the importance of the highly Ca2+ selective channels TRPV5 and TRPV6 in Ca2+ absorption/reabsorption in the intestine and kidney....
