TRPC1:Myc

Transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) is a human non-specific cation channel located at the plasma membrane. It has been previously reported as broadly expressed in human tissues where it functions as a store-operating calcium channel [1]. It belongs to the TRP superfamily that act as tetrameric transmembrane proteins, consisting of a domain formed by six transmembrane helices, with a pore between S5 and S6 [2]. These helices present the N- and C-termini to the cytoplasm, promoting the formation of functional homo- or hetero-tetramers [3]. The construct contains a Myc tag on the C-terminus, facing the cytoplasm (1A).

Localization and expression of mechanosensitive ion channels MscS and TRPC1.
(A) Scheme of bacterial ion channel MscS (top) and human ion channel TRPC1 (lbottom). (B) Ion channel MscS is localized on the plasma membrane. (C) TRPC1 is predominantly localized in the ER. (D) Ion channels MscS and TRPC1 are expressed in HEK293 cells. HEK293 cells were transfected with plasmids encoding HA tagged MscS or Myc-tagged TRPC1. Expression by Western blot and localization by confocal microscopy were analyzed using anti-HA and anti-Myc antibodies, respectively.
