Master class Theme 2: TRP Channels (Metabolism, Transport & Motion)

Aim

Aim of the course is to gain in-depth knowledge is gained on a specific “hot” research topic, related to Metabolism, Transport and Motion

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe the phylogenic relationship of the TRP superfamily
- Discuss the distinct features and functions of subfamilies of the TRP channels
- Identify molecular mechanisms of channel (in)activation of the TRP channels
- Identify techniques to study TRP channel function
- Identify potential key regulatory domains within the TRP proteins
- Establish a causal relationship between TRP-associated diseases and channel regulation
