SUMMARY
The transient receptor potential channel 5 (TRPC5) is predominantly expressed in the brain where it can form heterotetrameric complexes with TRPC1 and TRPC4 channel subunits. These excitatory, nonse- lective cationic channels are regulated by G protein, phospholipase C-coupled receptors. Here, we show that TRPC5
