<jats:p> Impaired magnesium reabsorption in patients with <jats:italic>TRPM6</jats:italic> gene mutations stresses an important role of TRPM6 (melastatin-related TRP cation channel) in epithelial magnesium transport. While attempting to isolate full-length TRPM6, we found that the human <jats:italic>TRPM6</jats:italic> gene encodes multiple mRNA isoforms. Full-length TRPM6 variants failed to form functional channel complexes because they were retained intracellularly on heterologous expression in HEK 293 cells and <jats:italic>Xenopus</jats:italic> oocytes. However, TRPM6 specifically interacted with its closest homolog, the Mg <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> -permeable cation channel TRPM7, resulting in the assembly of functional TRPM6/TRPM7 complexes at the cell surface. The naturally occurring S141L TRPM6 missense mutation abrogated the oligomeric assembly of TRPM6, thus providing a cell biological explanation for the human disease. Together, our data suggest an important contribution of TRPM6/TRPM7 heterooligomerization for the biological role of TRPM6 in epithelial magnesium absorption. </jats:p>
