TRPC1 was cloned as a human homolog of Drosophila TRP, predicted to be a non-voltage-gated plasma membrane Ca2+ channel (lacks charged residues in S4 proposed for voltage sensing), and identified as the founding member of the mammalian TRPC family. |

Biogenesis and transmembrane topology of human TRPC1 was determined: hydrophobic regions (HRs) 1, 4, and 6 cross the membrane cytosol-to-ER lumen; HRs 2, 5, and 8 have opposite orientation; HR 3 remains cytosolic; HR 7 forms a pore-like re-entrant loop. The C-terminal sequence downstream of HR 8 anchors the cytosolic end and prevents HR 7 from fully spanning the bilayer, creating the channel pore. |

PKCα phosphorylates TRPC1 in human endothelial cells downstream of thrombin or thapsigargin stimulation, and this phosphorylation is required for store-operated Ca2+ entry and the resulting increase in endothelial permeability. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of PKCα blocked IP3-induced cationic current and Ca2+ entry, and thrombin failed to phosphorylate TRPC1 when PKCα was inactive. |

TRPC1 protein was identified as a component of the vertebrate mechanosensitive cation channel (MscCa): purification of frog oocyte membrane proteins followed by liposome reconstitution and patch-clamp identified an ~80 kDa protein as TRPC1 by immunological methods. Heterologous expression of human TRPC1 in oocytes increased MscCa patch density >1000%, and TRPC1-specific antisense RNA abolished endogenous MscCa activity. Transfection into CHO-K1 cells also increased MscCa expression. The channel is gated by tension in the lipid bilayer. |

The cytosolic C-terminus of STIM1 is sufficient to activate TRPC1 channels. STIM1 binds TRPC1, TRPC2, and TRPC4 selectively (not TRPC3, 6, or 7) via its ERM domain, and gates TRPC1 through a cationic lysine-rich region. Deletion of either domain in constitutively active STIM1(D76A) produces dominant-negative mutants that block native SOC and TRPC1 channel activity. |

Caveolin-3 targeted TRPC1 to the plasma membrane.

Native TRPP2/TRPC1 channel activity was demonstrated in kidney cells by gain- and loss-of-function experiments; the complex co-localizes at the primary cilium and co-immunoprecipitates from kidney membranes. |

TRPC1 depletion in skeletal myoblasts reduces store-operated Ca2+ entry and abolishes the transient calpain activity peak at the onset of differentiation. This leads to accumulation of the calpain substrate MARCKS, slowed cell migration, and impaired myotube fusion. IGF-1-stimulated migration and calpain activation were also dependent on TRPC1 expression. |

TRPC1 operates as a Ca2+ leak channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of skeletal muscle fibers, not at the sarcolemma as previously proposed. Immunostaining colocalizes TRPC1-YFP with SR Ca2+ pump markers in a striated pattern. Overexpression increases resting SR Ca2+, accelerates CPA-induced Ca2+ rise, and slows Ca2+ transient decay, all consistent with SR Ca2+ leak function. |

Recombinant TRPC1 subunits do not form functional homomeric channels; instead they form functional heteromeric receptor-operated channels with all other TRPC subfamily members (TRPC3, 4, 5, 6, 7). In all TRPC1-containing heteromers, TRPC1 significantly reduces calcium permeability. Pore-region amino acid substitutions in TRPC1 further reduce Ca2+ permeability, confirming TRPC1 contributes to the channel pore. |

In TRPC1−/− VSMCs, TRPC5 homomeric channels (with multiple subconductance states 14/32/53 pS) form instead and show opposite regulation (inhibited by PKC, PIP2, PIP3; activated by elevated [Ca2+]i). TRPC1 determines unitary conductance and confers PKC/phosphoinositide activation. |

EGF stimulation triggers Ca2+ release and Ca2+ entry through TRPC1, and this Ca2+ entry reciprocally activates EGFR, forming a Ca2+-dependent amplification loop for EGF-dependent proliferation. |

Ca2+ entry through Trpc1 enhances PI3K activity, placing Trpc1 upstream of the PI3K/Akt pathway in myogenesis. |
