Two pore segment channel 2 (TPC2) is a human protein encoded by the TPCN2 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the TPCN2 gene .[1] ion channel , however, in contrast to other calcium and sodium channels which have four homologous domains, each containing 6 transmembrane segments (S1 to S6), TPCN1 only contains two domain (each containing segments S1 to S6).[2]
Structure TPC2 is homologous to TPC1, the best characterized member of the TPC family. The structure of a TPC1 ortholog from Arabidopsis thaliana has been solved by two laboratories.[3] [4] X-ray crystallography and contained the fold of a voltage-gated ion channel and EF hands .
Filoviral Infections Genetic knockout and pharmacological inhibition experiments demonstrate that Two-pore Channels , TPC1 and TPC2 , are required for infection by Filoviruses Ebola and Marburg in mice.[5]
