== Function == 1.TRCP1 helps the cell to fill up for SERCA2 deficiency so that the cell can survive by letting more calcium enter the endoplasmic reticulum. This activates survival pathways, such as NF-kB, reduces cell death, and promotes cell growth.^[3]

2) when TRPC1 joins TRPC4 channel (1 TRPC1 and TRPC4) it pushes away Ca²⁺ as TRPC1 has an aminio acid(K639) which is positively charged pushing the positively charged calcium. It also develops more preference for Na⁺/K⁺ over Ca²⁺, while increasing inhibitor sensitivity.^[4] 3. TRPC4 is essential during early postnatal brain development, as it helps dendrites grow and stay stable by turning glutamate signals into calcium entry, activating a force-generating pathway. Without TRPC4, dendrites will disintegrate.^[5]
