Magnesium excretion in C. elegans requires the activity of the GTL-2 TRPM channel.

Magnesium excretion in C. elegans requires the activity of the GTL-2 TRPM channel.

Systemic magnesium homeostasis in mammals is primarily governed by the activities of the TRPM6 and TRPM7 cation channels, which mediate both uptake by the intestinal epithelial cells and reabsorption by the distal convoluted tubule cells in the kidney.
