Abstract excerpt
KEY POINTS: We found that extracellular Ca2+ , but not other divalent cations (Mg2+ and Ba2+ ) or intracellular Ca2+ , is involved in heat-evoked activation of green anole (ga) TRPA1. Heat-evoked activation of chicken (ch) and rat snake (rs) TRPA1 does not depend solely on extracellular Ca2+ . Neutralization of acidic amino acids on the outer surface of TRPA1 by extracellular Ca2+ is important for heat-evoked...
