Two pore segment channel 2 (TPC2) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the TPCN2 gene.[5] TPC2 is an ion channel, however, in contrast to other calcium and sodium channels which have four homologous domains, each containing 6 transmembrane segments (S1 to S6), TPCN1 only contains two domain (each containing segments S1 to S6).[6]

Structure

TPC2 is homologous to TPC1, the best characterized member of the TPC family. The structure of a TPC1

ortholog from Arabidopsis thaliana has been solved by two laboratories.[7][8] The structures were solved using X-ray crystallography and contained the fold of a voltage-gated ion channel and EF hands
.

Filoviral infections

Genetic knockout and pharmacological inhibition experiments demonstrate that the

TPC2, are required for infection by Filoviruses Ebola and Marburg in mice.[9]
