Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that the reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT) strongly increases thermally induced activity of the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor-1 (TRPV1) channel. Here, we show that exposure to oxidizing agents also enhances the heat-induced activation of TRPV1. The actions of sulfhydryl modifiers on heat-evoked whole-cell membrane currents were examined in TRPV1-transfected human...
