Ligand stoichiometry of the cold- and menthol-activated channel TRPM8.

Abstract excerpt

Temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels play a key role in somatosensation, not only as primary thermosensors but also as chemosensors for various compounds that evoke a thermal sensation. The fundamental mechanisms whereby TRP channels translate ligand binding into opening of the ion conducting pore are, however, poorly understood, and the actual number of ligands that bind to these...
