(Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel, Subfamily V, Member 6 (TRPV6))
This gene encodes a member of the vanilloid family of transient receptor potential (TRP) calcium channel proteins. Proteins in this TRP family have an N-terminal ankyrin repeat domain, which is required for channel assembly and regulation. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011].
