Abstract: Objective To investigate the membrane topology of transient receptor potential(TRP)channel. Methods Glycosylation method was used to investigate the membrane integrations of each hydrophobic segment of canonical TRP(TRPC5). Results In TRPC5 channel,S4?S8 segments were integrated into membrane with Ncyt/Cexo and Nexo/Ccyt orientations sequentially ,and C?terminus was intracellular. S1?S3 segments were integrated into membrane with two possible types. One was that S1 and S3 were integrated into membrane,whereas S2 was left out of the membrane on the cytosolic side;and the other was a mixed type that S1 and S3 were exposed to cytoplasm respectively. Both of them,the N?termi?nus was intracellular. Conclusion S4?S8 segments of TRPC5 are transmembrane segments. The integrations of S1?S3 segments into membrane need to be further investigated.
