An Introduction on TRP Channels

2007
The transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are named after the role of the channels in Drosophila phototransduction. Mammalian TRP channel subunit proteins are encoded by at least 28 genes. TRP cation channels display an extraordinary assortment of selectivities and activation mechanisms, some of which represent previously unrecognized modes ...

TRP Channels in Disease

Science's STKE, 2005
The mammalian TRP (transient receptor potential) family consists of six main subfamilies termed the TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPP (polycystin), TRPML (mucolipin), and TRPA (ankyrin) groups. These subfamilies encompass 28 ion channels that function as diverse cellular sensors.

TRP Channels in Lymphocytes

2007
TRP proteins form ion channels that are activated following receptor stimulation. Several members of the TRP family are likely to be expressed in lymphocytes. However, in many studies, messenger RNA (mRNA) but not protein expression was analyzed and cell lines but not primary human or murine lymphocytes were used.

AN INTRODUCTION TO TRP CHANNELS

Annual Review of Physiology, 2006
▪ Abstract  The aim of this review is to provide a basic framework for understanding the function of mammalian transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, particularly as they have been elucidated in heterologous expression systems. Mammalian TRP channel proteins form six-transmembrane (6-TM) cation-permeable channels that may be grouped into six ...

Oncogenic TRP Channels

2010
Ion channels and notably TRP channels play a crucial role in a variety of physiological functions and in addition these channels have been also shown associated with several diseases including cancer. The process of cancer initiation and progression involves the altered expression of one or more of TRP proteins, depending on the nature of the cancer ...

TRP Channels and Thermosensation

2014
Several TRP channels exhibit highly temperature-dependent gating properties, which leads to steep changes in depolarising current upon either cooling or heating. Based on this characteristic feature, these so-called "thermoTRPs" have been widely studied with the aim to elucidate their potential key role as thermosensors in the somatosensory system and ...

Endogenous Modulators of TRP Channels

Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2013
The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily consists of a large number of cation channels permeable to both monovalent and divalent cations. The 28 mammalian TRP channels can be divided into seven subfamilies: the TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPP (polycystin), TRPML (mucolipin), TRPN (no mechanopotential, NOMP) and the

Thermosensation and TRP Channels

Somatosensory neurons can sense external temperature by converting sensation of temperature information to neural activity via afferent input to the central nervous system. Various populations of somatosensory neurons have specialized gene expression, including expression of thermosensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels ...

TRP Channels and Pain

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2013
Nociception is the process whereby primary afferent nerve fibers of the somatosensory system detect noxious stimuli. Pungent irritants from pepper, mint, and mustard plants have served as powerful pharmacological tools for identifying molecules and mechanisms underlying this initial step of pain sensation.

TRP Channels of Islets

2010
In the normal human body pancreatic β-cells spend most of the time in a READY mode rather than in an OFF mode. When in the READY mode, normal β-cells can be easily SWITCHED ON by a variety of apparently trivial stimuli. In the READY mode β-cells are highly excitable because of their high input resistance.
