Ion Selectivity and Conductance Comments
Nonselective for monovalent cations, impermeable to divalent cations. Average single-channel conductance of mTRPM5 is 23 pS [3].
Voltage Dependence
  V0.5 (mV)  τ (msec)  Reference  Cell type  Species 
Activation  - 1.9 12 HEK 293 cells. Mouse
Inactivation  - -
Comments  Heat activation of TRPM5 is the result of a drastic leftward shift of the voltage dependence of activation (-7.0 mV.°C-1) [11].
Physical activators (Human)
membrane depolarization (V½ = 0 to + 120 mV dependent upon conditions), heat (Q10 = 10.3 @ -75 mV between 15 and 25°C)

Activator Comments
Desensitisation of TRPM5 is modulated by PIP2, which acts as a co-factor for activation [4].
Pore Blocker Comments
TRPM5 is sensitive to pH below 7.0, with complete block at around pH 5.9 [5].
