| abstract |
This invention relates to inhibitors and modulators of the binding between a transcient receptor potential (TRP) channel protein and a TRP-associated binding protein. In particular inhibitors and modulators of the binding between the TRPM7 channel protein and PDZ-domain containing TRP-associated proteins. These modulators and inhibitors are used to control Ca2+ transport through TRPM7 channel proteins and reduce damage to mammalian cells, including brain and spinal cord cells, after ischemia or traumatic injury. |
