    TRPM2 is an oxidative stress-sensitive Ca2+-permeable channel. In this study, we examined the localization and the function of TRPM2 channels in the heart from mouse. In the heart, TRPM2 mRNA was expressed in right atrium, especially, around sinus venarum cavarum. In fact, the cells from around sinus venarum cavarum showed TRPM2 channel-dependent current induced by ADP-ribose. In the perfusion model of isolated heart, we found that TRPM2 channels are implicated in the increases of heart rate by the stimulation of adrenaline beta-1 receptor and the rising of temperature. Furthermore, we found that TRPM2 channel were also implicated in the induction of arrhythmia during cardiac ischemia-reperfusion.
