Ion channels are transmembrane pores which allow the passage of ions into and out of a cell down the electrochemical gradient. There are hundreds of different ion channels that are regrouped inside protein family and they are distinguished based upon their ion selectivity, gating mechanism, and sequence similarity. One of these families is known as TRPC channels. These channels are very diverse in their physiological function and are activated following a hormonal stimulation, and this thought the animal kingdom.

离子通道是跨膜孔，允许离子沿电化学梯度进出细胞。蛋白质家族中有数百种不同的离子通道，它们根据离子选择性、门控机制和序列相似性而被区分开来。这些家族中的一个被称为TRPC通道。这些通道在生理功能上非常多样化，在荷尔蒙刺激后被激活，这一点在动物界是这样认为的。
