Two-pore channels are a small family of cation-selective ion channels, with two known paralogs in the human genome.[1] They contain two tandem KV-style six-transmembrane domains fused on one polypeptide chain that form a dimers in the membrane.[2][3] These channels are closely related to CatSper channels and, more distantly, to TRP channels.

TPC channels are found in both animal [4] and plant [5] cells. In mammalian cells, recent evidence has identified the two-pore channels (TPCs) within the endolysosomal system as NAADP-regulated Ca(2+) channels that release organellar Ca(2+) in response to NAADP. The TPCN genes are distinct from the KCNK genes encoding the Tandem pore domain potassium channels.
