Facts about Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 5.
The station is triggered by low internal calcium level and the present exhibits an inward rectification (PubMed:11549322, PubMed:18768590). A Ca(2+)-dependent feedback law includes fast channel inactivation and slow current decay (By similarity).

Expressed at high levels in kidney, small intestine and pancreas, and at lower levels in testis, prostate, placenta, brain, colon and rectum.
Apical cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Colocalized with S100A10 and ANAX2 along the apical domain of kidney distal tubular cells (By similarity). The expression of the glycosylated form in the cell membrane is increased in the presence of WNK3 (PubMed:18768590).
