Abstract

Transient receptor potential channels (TRP channels) constitute one of the largest ion channel families in the human genome and are versatile cellular sensors involved in the perception of pain, warm and cold temperatures, noxious and pungent chemicals, and pressure.[1] They are also involved in visual processing and might shape the circadian rhythm in mammals.[2] As such, members of this ion channel family play a key role in ...
