TRPV4 (Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4) is a type of protein that functions as a receptor involved in various physiological processes. It is a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of ion channels, which are known for their roles in detecting environmental changes and regulating cellular responses. TRPV4 is particularly responsive to mechanical stress, temperature changes, and osmotic pressure.
