- Background
- TRPV4 (Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel Subfamily V Member 4), also known as TRP12, OTRPC4 or VROAC, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRPV4 gene. This gene encodes TRPV4, a member of the OSM9-like transient receptor potential channel (OTRPC) subfamily in the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of ion channels. By genomic sequence analysis, Liedtke et al. (2000) mapped the TRPV4 gene to chromosome 12q24.1. They mapped the mouse Trpv4 gene to distal chromosome 5 by radiation hybrid analysis. Wissenbach et al. (2000) found that hypoosmotic conditions rapidly activated TRP12, while hyperosmotic conditions inhibited the activity.Strotmann et al. (2000) showed that OTRPC4 was responsive to changes in extracellular osmolarity in the physiologically relevant range and was expressed in tissues exposed to changing osmotic environments.

- Tissue Specificity
- Plasma FN (soluble dimeric form) is secreted by hepatocytes. Cellular FN (dimeric or cross-linked multimeric forms), made by fibroblasts, epithelial and other cell types, is deposited as fibrils in the extracellular matrix. Ugl-Y1, Ugl-Y2 and Ugl-Y3 are found in urine.

- Function
- Fibronectins bind cell surfaces and various compounds including collagen, fibrin, heparin, DNA, and actin. Fibronectins are involved in cell adhesion, cell motility, opsonization, wound healing, and maintenance of cell shape. Involved in osteoblast compaction through the fibronectin fibrillogenesis cell-mediated matrix assembly process, essential for osteoblast mineralization. Participates in the regulation of type I collagen deposition by osteoblasts. Anastellin binds fibronectin and induces fibril formation. This fibronectin polymer, named superfibronectin, exhibits enhanced adhesive properties. Both anastellin and superfibronectin inhibit tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. Anastellin activates p38 MAPK and inhibits lysophospholipid signaling.
