Transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 2, also known as TRPV2, is a human gene.

This gene encodes an ion channel that is activated by high temperatures above 52 degrees Celsius. The protein may be involved in transduction of high-temperature heat responses in sensory ganglia. It is thought that in other tissues the channel may be activated by stimuli other than heat.[1]
