act(p(HGNC:TRPM2)) increases tloc(a(CHEBI:"calcium(2+)"), fromLoc(MESH:"Extracellular Space"), toLoc(MESH:"Intracellular Space"))
This channel senses intracellular ROS and responds by opening itself to facilitate Ca2+ influx into the cell; this is intriguing considering that both ion fluxes and the oxidative state (see below) have important roles in NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
