Trpv4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables several functions, including SH2 domain binding activity; calcium channel activity; and osmosensor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to osmotic stress; positive regulation of MAPK cascade; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within hyperosmotic salinity response; regulation of response to osmotic stress; and vasopressin secretion. Located in adherens junction and cilium. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; limb; respiratory system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Used to study autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 25. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2C; motor neuron disease (multiple); osteochondrodysplasia (multiple); and osteonecrosis. Orthologous to human TRPV4 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Trpv4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
