Introduction Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are broadly expressed cation
channels that mediate diverse physiological stimuli and include canonical (TRPC),
melastatin (TRPM), and vanilloid (TRPV) subtypes. Recent studies have implicated a role for
TRPC6 channels as an important component of signaling via the cytokine, transforming
growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) in right (RV) or left ventricular (LV) failure. Endoglin (Eng) is a
transmembrane glycoprotein that promotes TRPC6 expression and TGFβ1 activity. No …
