Gene Symbol | TRPV2 |
Entrez Gene ID | 51393 |
Full Name | transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 2 |
Synonyms | VRL,VRL-1,VRL1 |
General protein information |

Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Homo sapiens(human) |
Genome | |
Summary | This gene encodes an ion channel that is activated by high temperatures above 52 degrees Celsius. The protein may be involved in transduction of high-temperature heat responses in sensory ganglia. It is thought that in other tissues the channel may be activated by stimuli other than heat.
