TRPM3 encodes a protein that belongs to the family of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. TRP channels are cation-selective channels important for cellular calcium signaling and homeostasis. The encoded protein mediates calcium entry, and this entry is potentiated by calcium store depletion.The product of this gene belongs to the family of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. The protein encoded by this gene mediates calcium entry, and this entry is potentiated by calcium store depletion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
