However, in contrast to what was observed with WT TRPV4, expression of RhoA did not suppress hypotonic stress-induced calcium influx via neuropathy mutant TRPV4 (Fig. 4a–c), suggesting that the failure of mutant TRPV4 to interact with RhoA abrogates the inhibitory influence of RhoA on TRPV4 ion channel activity. Here, RHOA is linked to neuropathy.
