The transient receptor potential channel TRPV6 mediates calcium uptake in epithelia and its expression is increased in several cancer types. Here, authors present structures of TRPV6 bound to 2-APB, a TRPV6 inhibitor, and show that 2-APB induces TRPV6 channel closure by modulating protein–lipid interactions.
