The present invention relates to novel human nucleic acid molecules encoding novel human cation channels, and proteins and polypeptides encoded by such nucleic acid molecules. More specifically, the nucleic acid molecules of the invention include novel human genes, e.g., hCCh3.1, hCCh3.2, and hCCh4, that encode proteins or polypeptides that display some sequence homology and structural homology to the vanilloid and TRP (transient receptor potential) families of cation channel proteins. The proteins and polypeptides of the invention represent novel cation channels that may be therapeutically valuable targets for drug delivery in the treatment of human diseases which involve calcium, sodium, potassium or other ionic homeostatic dysfunction, such as central nervous system (CNS) disorders, e.g., stroke or degenerative neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, or other disorders such as cardiac disorders, e.g., arrhythmia, diabetes, chronic pain, hypercalcemia, hypocalcemia, hypercalciuria, hypocalciuria, or ion disorders associated with renal or liver disease.

L'invention concerne de nouvelles molécules d'acide nucléique humain codant pour de nouveaux canaux cationiques humains, et des protéines et des polypeptides codant pour lesdites molécules d'acide nucléique. Ces molécules d'acide nucléique comprennent, plus spécifiquement, des gènes humains, par exemple, hCCh3, hCCh3.2, et hCCh4, qui codent pour des protéines ou des polypeptides qui affichent une certaine homologie de séquence et de structure avec les familles vanilloïdes et à potentiel de récepteur transitoire (TPR) de protéines de canaux cationiques. Les protéines et des polypeptides représentent de nouveaux canaux cationiques pouvant être des cibles thérapeutiquement valables pour distribuer un médicament permettant de traiter des maladies humaines impliquant le calcium, le sodium, le potassium, ou d'autres dysfonctions homéostatiques ioniques, telles que des troubles du système nerveux central (CNS), par exemple, les accidents vasculaires cérébraux ou des troubles neurologiques dégénératifs tels que la maladie d'Alzaheimer, ou d'autres troubles tels que les troubles cardiaques, par exemple, l'arrhytmie, les diabètes, la douleur chronique, l'hypercalcémie, l'hypocalcémie, l'hypercalciurie, l'hypocalciurie, ou des troubles ioniques associés à une maladie des reins ou du foie.
