TRIC represents a novel class of trimeric intracellular cation channels. Two TRIC isoforms have been identified in both the human and mouse genomes: TRIC-A - a subtype predominantly expressed in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of muscle cells, and TRIC-B - a ubiquitous subtype expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of all tissues. Genetic ablation of either TRIC-A or TRIC-B leads to compromised K+ permeation and Ca2+ release across the SR/ER membrane, supporting the hypothesis that TRIC channels provide a counter balancing K+ flux that reduces SR/ER membrane depolarization for maintenance of the electrochemical gradient that drives SR/ER Ca2+ release. TRIC-A and TRIC-B appear to have differential functions in Ca2+ signaling in excitable and non-excitable cells. Tric-a−/− mice display defective Ca2+ sparks and spontaneous transient outward currents in arterial smooth muscle and develop hypertension, in addition to skeletal muscle dysfunction. Knockout of TRIC-B results in abnormal IP3 receptor-mediated Ca2+ release in airway epithelial cells, respiratory defects and neonatal lethality. Double-knockout mice lacking both TRIC-A and TRIC-B show embryonic lethality due to cardiac arrest. Such an aggravated lethality indicates that TRIC-A and TRIC-B share complementary physiological functions in Ca2+ signaling in embryonic cardiomyocytes. Tric-a−/−Tric-b+/− mice are viable and susceptible to stress-induced heart failure. Recent evidence suggests that TRIC-A directly modulates the function of the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) Ca2+ release channel, which in turn controls store-overload induced Ca2+ release from the SR. Thus, the TRIC channels, in addition to providing a counter-current for SR/ER Ca2+ release, may also function as accessory proteins that directly modulate the RyR/IP3 receptor channel functions.
