However, further research on the functional properties of TRPV2 in RBCs and the involvement of TRPV2 in: (i) RBC physiology inclusive effects caused by cannabis consumption, (ii) the genesis of RBC related disease, (iii) in the treatment of malaria as proposed by the authors in the original report and (iv) its contribution to the cation gradients dissipation upon storage as outlined above, are now required. Here, TRPV2 is linked to malaria.
