[6] TPC2 is homologous to TPC1, the best characterized member of the TPC family.
The structure of a TPC1 ortholog from Arabidopsis thaliana has been solved by two laboratories.
[7][8] The structures were solved using X-ray crystallography and contained the fold of a voltage-gated ion channel and EF hands.
Genetic knockout and pharmacological inhibition experiments demonstrate that the two-pore channels, TPC1 and TPC2, are required for infection by Filoviruses Ebola and Marburg in mice.
