Abstract:The ion channel, transient receptor potential subfamily melastatin, member 7 (TRPM7) was first identified as critical for cell viability in the B cell line, DT40, by regulating cellular Mg2+ homeostasis. However, specific deletion of TRPM7 in T cells results in only a minor defect in thymocyte development and nearly normal numbers of peripheral T cells, raising the question of whether TRPM7 is in fact important for B cell development in vivo. Here, we generated a murine model in which TRPM7 is specifically del… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
