Activator Comments
Chen et al [1] expressed human TRPP2 in Xenopus oocytes and proposed increased currents on increasing external or (inferred) internal Ca2+ levels and noted a decrease in channel activity on lowering external pH (7.5>6). TRPP2 and PKD1L3 are coexpressed in sour taste receptor cells of the tongue. Coexpression of the PDK1L3 and TRPP2 is necessary for functional cell surface expression, presumably as a heteromeric complex, where they are activated by acid pH [4].

Pore Blocker Comments
The block refers to the inhibition of the presumed current carried by human TRPP2 in Xenopus laevis oocytes.

Clinically-Relevant Mutations and Pathophysiology Comments
TRPP2 is deleted in the Krd mouse. This mouse has defects in structures of the kidney, retina and optic disc, however the Krd deletion is a 7cM transgene-induce deletion on chromosome 19 that includes the Pax2 locus [7].
