What ion channels are activated by the increase in DAG levels resulting from mGluR1-mediated voltage-gated calcium channels?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the specific ion channels that are activated due to the increase in DAG (diacylglycerol) levels that result from the interaction of mGluR1 and voltage-gated calcium channels. It intends to assess knowledge in cellular signaling pathways and ion channel physiology.
Answer
TRPC channels (e.g., TRPC1, TRPC3) are activated.
The transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels, such as TRPC1 and TRPC3, are activated by the increase in DAG levels resulting from mGluR1-mediated voltage-gated calcium channels.
Answer for screen readers
The transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels, such as TRPC1 and TRPC3, are activated by the increase in DAG levels resulting from mGluR1-mediated voltage-gated calcium channels.
More Information
These channels are part of the TRPC family which are known to be activated by diacylglycerol (DAG) and other receptors that activate phospholipase C.
Tips
A common mistake is overlooking the specific TRPC channel subtype involved in response to DAG. It's important to note the specific involvement of TRPC1 and TRPC3.
