Summary
Enables monoatomic ion channel activity. Involved in calcium ion transmembrane import into cytosol and intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis. Located in fungal-type vacuole membrane and vacuole-mitochondrion membrane contact site. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2C; keratosis (multiple); migraine (multiple); motor neuron disease (multiple); and osteochondrodysplasia (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including TRPV1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1); TRPV2 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 2); and TRPV3 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 3).

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Activity of the yeast vacuolar TRP channel TRPY1 is inhibited by Ca(2+)-calmodulin binding.
    Title: Activity of the yeast vacuolar TRP channel TRPY1 is inhibited by Ca(2+)-calmodulin binding.
  2. Data show that Ca(2+) on the lumen side inhibited channel activity of vacuolar cation channel TRPY1 protein (Yvc1 protein).
    Title: In vitro and in vivo characterization of modulation of the vacuolar cation channel TRPY1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
  3. Yvc1p has nine cysteine residues, of which eight are located in the cytoplasmic regions and one on the transmembrane domain. We show that three of these cysteines, Cys-17, Cys-79, and Cys-191, are specifically glutathionylated.
    Title: Glutathione depletion activates the yeast vacuolar transient receptor potential channel, Yvc1p, by reversible glutathionylation of specific cysteines.
