2. The structure shows how the antagonist Pico145 binds to the channel, creating a stronger hydrophobic interaction than TRPC4-only channels.<ref>Won, J., Kim, J., Kim, J. et al. (2025). Cryo-EM structure of the heteromeric TRPC1/TRPC4 channel. ''Nature Structural & Molecular Biology'', 32(2):326–338. DOI: 10.1038/s41594-024-01408-1</ref>. This can explain why Pico145 is more potent against TRPC1-containing channels or how drug binding is influenced by heteromer composition. This information can improve selectivity and reduce side effects.

3. Residues in TRPC1, such as L601(selectivity filter) and K639(in the central cavity), explains how TRPC1 alters TRPC4's functions.<ref>Won, J., Kim, J., Kim, J. et al. (2025).

This helps us understand how ion permeability leads to diseases.

3. Calcium permeability is determined by the S6 helix present depeer in the pore. The TRPC1 subunit provides K639 here, which carries a positive charge in the central cavity of the pore. This creates an electropositive environment repelling calcium, which is also positively charged. <ref>Won, J., Kim, J., Kim, J. et al. (2025).

=== Figure 1: Asymmetric Tetramer Assembly (1:3 Stoichiometry) ===
 
The TRPC1/TRPC4 channel structure (PDB 8WPL) displays an overall asymmetric tetrameric assembly, consisting of one TRPC1 subunit (Chain D) and three TRPC4 subunits (Chains A, B, C). This configuration breaks the expected C4 symmetry.

=== Figure 2: The K639 Calcium Gate ===
Calcium permeability is dictated by the **K639 residue** on the TRPC1 subunit. This residue protrudes into the central cavity, where its positive charge repels positively charged calcium ions, providing the mechanism for reduced calcium influx.

</StructureSection>
=== Figure 3: The L601 Selectivity Filter ===
The channel's selectivity for monovalent ions is determined by the **L601 residue** on TRPC1. This residue causes a physical constriction at the selectivity filter, narrowing the pore radius and affecting ion preference.
