TRPV2, Official Symbol TRPV2provided by HGNC Official Full Name transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:18082 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000187688 MIM:606676; AllianceGenome:HGNC:18082 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as VRL; VRL1; VRL-1 Summary This gene encodes an ion channel that is activated by high temperatures above 52 degrees Celsius. The protein may be involved in transduction of high-temperature heat responses in sensory ganglia. It is thought that in other tissues the channel may be activated by stimuli other than heat.
