Abstract
The invention relates, in part, to methods useful in identifying molecules, that bind TRPM4b, which modulate TRPM4b ion channel activity, and/or which alter expression of TRPM4b within cells. The TRPM4b channels as described herein contain TRPM4b polypeptides, which are in turn encoded by TRPM4b nucleic acids. The ion channels described herein are preferably formed in HEK-293 cells from one or more novel TRPM4b polypeptides, which exhibit one or more of the unique TRPM4b properties described herein.
