Summary

TRPM6 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 6, HGNC:17995) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9q21.13, encoding Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 6 (Q9BX84). Bifunctional protein that combines an ion channel with an intrinsic kinase domain, enabling it to modulate cellular functions either by conducting ions through the pore or by phosphorylating downstream proteins via its kinase domain.

This gene is predominantly expressed in the kidney and colon, and encodes a protein containing an ion channel domain and a protein kinase domain. It is crucial for magnesium homeostasis, and plays an essential role in epithelial magnesium transport and in the active magnesium absorption in the gut and kidney. Mutations in this gene are associated with hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.

Function. Bifunctional protein that combines an ion channel with an intrinsic kinase domain, enabling it to modulate cellular functions either by conducting ions through the pore or by phosphorylating downstream proteins via its kinase domain. Crucial for Mg(2+) homeostasis. Has an important role in epithelial Mg(2+) transport and in the active Mg(2+) absorption in the gut and kidney. However, whether TRPM6 forms functional homomeric channels by itself or functions primarily as a subunit of heteromeric TRPM6-TRPM7 channels, is still under debate. The C-terminal kinase domain can be cleaved from the channel segment in a cell-type-specific fashion. The cleaved kinase fragments can translocate to the nucleus, and bind chromatin-remodeling complex proteins to ultimately phosphorylate specific Ser/Thr residues of histones known to be functionally important for cell differentiation and development.

Subunit / interactions. Homomers. Forms heteromers with TRPM7; TRPM6 increases the current amplitude of TRPM6/7 heteromers as compared to TRPM7 homomer. Interacts (via kinase domain) with RACK1.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Apical cell membrane Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in kidney and colon. Isoform TRPM6a and isoform TRPM6b, are coexpressed with TRPM7 in kidney, and testis, and are also found in several cell lines of lung origin. Isoform TRPM6c is detected only in testis and in NCI-H510A small cell lung carcinoma cells.

Post-translational modifications. Autophosphorylated; autophosphorylation controlls the protein kinase activity of TRPM6 towards their substrates. Autophosphorylation of Thr-1851 in the kinase domain is essential for the inhibitory effect of RACK1. The C-terminus of TRPM6 is proteolytically cleaved in vivo, in a cell type-specific fashion, releasing the kinase module from the transmembrane domain. The cleaved kinase fragments are translocated to the nucleus to phosphorylate histones and regulate gene expression.

Disease relevance. Hypomagnesemia 1 (HOMG1) [MIM:602014] A disorder due to a primary defect in intestinal magnesium absorption. It is characterized by low levels of serum magnesium alongside with a normal renal magnesium secretion, secondary hypocalcemia and calcinocis. Affected individuals show neurologic symptoms of hypomagnesemic hypocalcemia, including seizures and muscle spasms, during infancy. Hypocalcemia is secondary to parathyroid failure resulting from magnesium deficiency. Untreated, the disorder may be fatal or may result in neurological damage. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Activity regulation. Strongly inhibited by intracellular Mg(2+); unlikely to be active at physiological levels of intracellular Mg(2+). In the heteromeric TRPM6-TRPM7 channels complexes, TRPM7 are able to offset the very high sensitivity of TRPM6 to cytosolic Mg(2+) to physiologically relevant concentrations, whereas TRPM6 relieve TRPM7 from the inhibitory action of Mg-ATP. Consequently, the association of TRPM6 with TRPM7 allow for high constitutive activity of TRPM6/7 in the presence of physiological levels of Mg(2+) and Mg-ATP. The kinase activity is controlled through the autophosphorylation of a serine/threonine-rich region located to the N-terminal of the catalytic domain.

Miscellaneous. Lacks the ion channel region. Lacks the ion channel region. Lacks the ion channel region.

Similarity. In the C-terminal section; belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Alpha-type protein kinase family. ALPK subfamily. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the transient receptor (TC 1.A.4) family. LTrpC subfamily. TRPM6 sub-subfamily.
