Abstract excerpt
Agonist-induced desensitization of the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor-1 (TRPV1) is one of the key strategies that offer a way to alleviate neuropathic and inflammatory pain. This process is initiated by TRPV1 receptor activation and the subsequent entry of extracellular Ca(2+) through the channel into sensory neurones. One of the prominent mechanisms responsible for TRPV1 desensitization is...
