Abstract excerpt
The transient receptor potential ion channel TRPA1 is expressed by primary afferent nerve fibres, in which it functions as a low-threshold sensor for structurally diverse electrophilic irritants, including small volatile environmental toxicants and endogenous algogenic lipids1. TRPA1 is also a 'receptor-operated' channel whose activation downstream of metabotropic receptors elicits inflammatory pain or itch,...
