Importance of the renal ion channel TRPM6 in the circadian secretion of renin to raise blood pressure

Circadian variation of blood pressure, with higher values in the active period, is associated with the risk of fatal cardiovascular events. Here, we show the importance of renal TRPM6, a Magnesium-permeable cation channel, in raising blood pressure by stimulating renin secretion.
