Abstract
TRPC proteins are the mammalian homologues of the Drosophila transient receptor potential channel and are involved in calcium entry after agonist stimulation of non-excitable cells. Seven mammalian TRPCs have been cloned, and their mechanisms of activation and regulation are still the subject of intense research. TRPC proteins interact with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, and the conformational coupling plays a critical role in the activation of calcium entry. Some evidence also supports an exocytotic mechanism as part of the activation of calcium entry. To investigate the possible involvement of exocytosis in TRPC6 activation, we evaluated the location of TRPC6 at the plasma membrane by biotinylation labeling of cell surface proteins and by indirect immunofluorescence marking of TRPC6 in stably transfected HEK 293 cells. We showed that when the muscarinic receptor was stimulated or the thapsigargin-induced intracellular calcium pool was depleted the level of TRPC6 at the plasma membrane increased. The carbachol concentration at which TRPC6 externalization occurred was lower than the concentration required to activate TRPC6. Externalization occurred within the first 30 s of stimulation, and TRPC6 remained at the plasma membrane as long as the stimulus was present. These results indicate that an exocytotic mechanism is involved in the activation of TRPC6.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
