DiseaseHypomagnesemia 1 (HOMG1) [MIM:602014]: A disorder due to a primary defect in intestinal magnesium absorption. It is characterized by low levels of serum magnesium alongside with a normal renal magnesium secretion, secondary hypocalcemia and calcinocis. Affected individuals show neurologic symptoms of hypomagnesemic hypocalcemia, including seizures and muscle spasms, during infancy. Hypocalcemia is secondary to parathyroid failure resulting from magnesium deficiency. Untreated, the disorder may be fatal or may result in neurological damage. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12032568, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23942199}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
FunctionEssential ion channel and serine/threonine-protein kinase. Crucial for magnesium homeostasis. Has an important role in epithelial magnesium transport and in the active magnesium absorption in the gut and kidney. Isoforms of the type M6-kinase lack the ion channel region.
SimilarityContains 1 alpha-type protein kinase domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00501}.
SimilarityIn the C-terminal section; belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Alpha-type protein kinase family. ALPK subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
SimilarityIn the N-terminal section; belongs to the transient receptor (TC 1.A.4) family. LTrpC subfamily. TRPM6 sub-subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationCell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23942199}; Multi-pass membrane protein.
SubunitForms heterodimers with TRPM7. TRPM6 requires the presence of TRPM7 to be targeted to the cell membrane (in HEK 293 cells). Interacts (via kinase domain) with GNB2L1/RACK1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14976260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18258429}.
Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in kidney and colon. Isoform TRPM6a and isoform TRPM6b, are coexpressed with TRPM7 in kidney, and testis, and are also found in several cell lines of lung origin. Isoform TRPM6c is detected only in testis and in NCI-H510A small cell lung carcinoma cells.
