Abstract excerpt
Sensing specific temperature ranges as noxious is crucial for protecting organisms from tissue damage. While the molecular detectors for noxious heat are well-characterized, those responsible for noxious cold detection remain elusive. The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a polymodal channel activated by heat, acid, and various animal and plant toxins. Due to its association with inflammatory...
