Mammalian homologues of the Drosophila canonical transient receptor potential (TRP)
proteins have been implicated to function as plasma membrane Ca 2+ channels. This study
examined the role of TRPC1 in human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells. SH-SY5Y cells
treated with an exogenous neurotoxin, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+) significantly
decreased TRPC1 protein levels. Confocal microscopy on SH-SY5Y cells treatment with
MPP+ showed decreased plasma membrane staining of TRPC1. Importantly …
