What are TRPM6 and TRPM7 channels?

TRPM6 and TRPM7 are types of ion channels that are found in various tissues and organs in the human body. These channels are important for regulating the passage of calcium and magnesium ions into and out of cells. TRPM6 is mainly found in the kidneys and intestines, where it plays a role in the absorption and reabsorption of magnesium. TRPM7, on the other hand, is widely expressed in different tissues and is involved in the regulation of cellular processes such as cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Both TRPM6 and TRPM7 have been implicated in a variety of diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disorders.
