TRPC1 forms the stretch-activated cation channel in vertebrate cells
TL;DR: A membrane-protein fraction that reconstituted high MscCa activity and showed an abundance of a protein that had a relative molecular mass of 80,000 (Mr 80K) indicate that TRPC1 is a component of the vertebrate MSCCa, which is gated by tension developed in the lipid bilayer, as is the case in various prokaryotic mechanosensitive (Ms) channels.

TL;DR: Although several TRPC channel members, including TRPC1 and TRPC6, have been recently proposed to form MscCa in vertebrate cells, the functional expression of these TRPC subunits in heterologous systems remains problematic.

Investigations of the Secretory Immune System in Human Milk Using Monoclonal Antibodies
TL;DR: Secretory IgA (SIgA), the major immunoglobulin in human colostrum and milk, is a complex of glycopeptides, which consists of at least four alpha (heavy) chains, four kappa or lambda (light) Chains, and a single J or joining chain.
