Abstract

This chapter explores the existing structural and functional studies on the endo-lysosomal channel TRPML1 and its analogs TRPML2, TRPML3. These channels represent the mucolipin subfamily of the TRP channel superfamily comprising important roles in sensory physiology, ion homeostasis, and signal transduction. Since 2016, numerous structures have been determined for all three members using either cryo-EM or X-ray crystallography. These studies along with recent functional analysis have considerably strengthened our knowledge on TRPML channels and its related endo-lysosomal function. This chapter, together with relevant reports in other chapters from this handbook, provides an informative and detailed tool to study the endo-lysosomal cation channels.
