TRPM4 channels in the cardiovascular system.
Current Opinion in Pharmacology 2014 April
The non-selective Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 4 (TRPM4) cation channel is abundantly expressed in cardiac cells, being involved in several aspects of cardiac rhythmicity, including cardiac conduction, pace making and action-potential repolarization. Dominantly inherited mutations in the TRPM4 gene are associated with the cardiac bundle-branch disorder progressive familial heart block type I (PFHBI) and isolated cardiac conduction disease (ICCD) giving rise to atrio-ventricular conduction block (AVB), right bundle branch block, bradycardia, and the Brugada syndrome. The mutant phenotypes closely resemble those associated with mutations in the SCN5A gene, encoding the voltage-gated Na(+) channel NaV1.5. These observations and the unexpected partnership with sulfonylurea-receptors (SURs) makes the TRPM4 channel a promising novel target for treatment of cardiac disorders.
