Abstract
This chapter offers a brief introduction of the functions of TRPC channels in non-neuronal systems. We focus on three major organs of which the research on TRPC channels have been most focused on: kidney, heart, and lung. The chapter highlights on cellular functions and signaling pathways mediated by TRPC channels. It also summarizes several inherited diseases in humans that are related to or caused by TRPC channel mutations and malfunction. A better understanding of TRPC channels functions and the importance of TRPC channels in health and disease should lead to new insights and discovery of new therapeutic approaches for intractable disease.
