“…TRPV4 is a nonselective cation channel of the vanilloid subfamily of TRP channels and is broadly expressed in a wide range of tissues including the brain (4,8,17,31,41,(53)(54)(55)62) and cardiovascular system (18). It functions as a calcium permeable channel activated directly or indirectly by various kinds of stimuli, such as hypoosmolarity, warm temperature, low pH, mechanical stimulation, synthetic agonists, and endogenous chemicals such as arachidonic acid and neurotransmitter signals (1,9,34,35,41,57,63,71), and plays a multitude of functional roles in both physiological and pathological conditions.…”
