Özet

Transient receptor potential melastatin-like 2 (TRPM2) is a non-selective Ca2+ permeable cation channel and is known to be activated by H2O2, one of the most important indicators of intracellular oxidative stress. A neurohormone melatonin may have a modulator role on TRPM2 channels activated by oxidative stress because it is a strong antioxidant. In this study we investigated the effects of melatonin on apoptosis, whole cell currents and Ca2+ influx arising from TRPM2 channels activated by H2O2.
