Sequence analysis and homology modeling of mouse TRPCl, TRPC4 & TRPC5 channels / Ruzifaizura Ahmad Kalam

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are involved in the perception of a wide range of physical and chemical stimuli, including temperature and osmolarity changes, light, pain, touch, taste and pheromones, and in the initiation of cellular responses there upon. Knowing the structure of these...
