Description

CaT-1 (rat/mouse 727 aa, human 725 aa, chromosome 7q33-q34, ~85 kDa) is also known as ECAC2, CAT-like (CATL) or TRPV6 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 6) contains a cytoplasmic N-terminus, 6 ankyrin repeat domains, 6 transmembrane domains, an extracellular pore region between TM5-6, and cytoplasmic C-terminus. CaT-1 shows 75% sequence identity to epithelial Ca++ channel (ECaC) protein from rabbit kidney. In rat, CaT-1 transcript (3-Kb) is expressed in duodenum, proximal jejunum cecum and colon but not in kidney, whereas ECaC in rabbit is expressed in apical cell membranes in distal part of nephron (kidney), duodenum, jejunum and placenta.
