Trpc6 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables several functions, including ATPase binding activity; clathrin binding activity; and cytoskeletal protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; negative regulation of dendrite morphogenesis; and positive regulation of peptidyl-threonine phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; plasma membrane; and slit diaphragm. Used to study focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; kidney disease; and transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of proteinuria and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chronic fatigue syndrome; focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 2; and nephrotic syndrome type 2. Orthologous to human TRPC6 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 6). [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 rat Trpc6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
