Convergent evolution of noxious heat sensing by TRPA5, a novel class of heat sensor in <i>Rhodnius prolixus</i>
2023-05-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> As ectotherms, insects need a multifaceted repertoire of heat-sensitive receptors to monitor environmental temperatures and finely control behavioral thermoregulation. Here, we show that TRPA5 genes, a class of ankyrin transient receptor potential channels lost in genomes of model fruit flies or mosquitoes, are widespread across insect orders, and encode a previously uncharacterized type of hea...
