Abstract

The non-selective cation channel TRPC1 is highly expressed in the brain. Recent research shows that neuronal TRPC1 forms heteromeric complexes with TRPC4 and TRPC5, with a small portion existing as homotetramers, primarily in the ER. Given that most studies have focused on the role of heteromeric TRPC1/4/5 complexes, it is crucial to investigate the specific role of homomeric TRPC1 in maintaining brain homeostasis. This review highlights recent findings on TRPC1 in the brain, with a focus on the hippocampus, and compiles the latest data on modulators and their binding sites within the TRPC1/4/5 subfamily to stimulate new research on more selective TRPC1 ligands.
