Sperm specific expression of temperature-sensitive ion channel TRPM8 correlates with vertebrate evolution
2014-07-21
Abstract excerpt
Transient Receptor Potential subfamily Melastatin member 8 (TRPM8) is involved in detection of cold temperature and different noxious compounds, execute thermo- as well as chemo-sensitive responses at cellular levels. Here we explored the molecular evolution of TRPM8 by analyzing sequences from different species. We elucidate that different regions of TRPM8 had different levels of selection pressure and the 4-5 t...
