Historical Background

Transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel subfamily M member 2 (TRPM2) was identified in the search for mammalian genes encoding homologues of the transient receptor potential (Trp) proteins that forms Ca2+-permeable cationic channels required for photo-transduction in Drosophila melanogaster fruit fly (Hardie and Minke 1992). It was firstly named the seventh classical TRP protein (TRPC7) that exhibits sequence relatedness with Drosophila Trp proteins (Nagamine et al. 1998) and subsequently renamed LTRPC2, the second member of the long TRP channel protein family characterized with exceptionally long N- and C-termini (Harteneck et al. 2000). In the efforts devoted to unifying the terminology, the mammalian TRP proteins, 28 in total, are...
