Summaries
Gene Group (FlyBase)
TRANSIENT RECEPTOR POTENTIAL ION CHANNELS -
The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channel family are cation channels conserved from invertebrates to humans. TRP channels respond to diverse stimuli and are involved in a number of environmental sensory pathways. (Adapted from FBrf0220930 and FBrf0225477).
MECHANOSENSITIVE TRANSIENT RECEPTOR POTENTIAL ION CHANNELS -
The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels are cation channels. Some members of the TRP family have been shown to be gated by mechanical stimulation (Adapted from FBrf0248531.)
POLYCYSTIN CATION CHANNEL FAMILY -
Polycystin-related proteins are a family of proteins, some of which have been shown to be able to form cation-conducting transmembrane channels. In mammals, the polycystin complex is a heteromeric complex of the polycystin proteins, PKD1 (PC-1) and PKD2 (PC-2/TRPP1) that can act as a cation channel. Some members are also members of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channel superfamily. (Adapted from FBrf0253843 and the Transporter Classification Database.)

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Testis-specificity index

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).
