TPC2 proteins mediate nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP)- and agonist-evoked contractions of smooth muscle.
Agonists such as those acting at muscarinic receptors are thought to induce contraction of smooth muscle primarily through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production and release of Ca(2+) from sarcoplasmic reticulum. However, the additional Ca(2+)-mobilizing messengers cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribo...
