The transient receptor potential ankyrin type 1 (TRPA1) channel belongs to the TRP superfamily of ion channels. TRPA1 is a membrane protein with multiple functions able to respond to noxious stimuli, reactive oxygen species, inflammatory cytokines or ...

Oligodendrocytes produce myelin, which provides insulation to axons and speeds up neuronal transmission. In ischaemic conditions, myelin is damaged, resulting in mental and physical disabilities.

Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel is an ion channel whose gating is controlled by agonists, such as allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), and temperature.

CASK regulates CaMKII autophosphorylation in neuronal growth, calcium signaling, and learning [PDF]
Calcium (Ca2+)/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) activity plays a fundamental role in learning and memory. A key feature of CaMKII in memory formation is its ability to be regulated by autophosphorylation, which switches its activity on and ...

Agonists of TRPA1 such as mustard oil and its key component AITC cause pain and neurogenic inflammation in humans and pain behavior in rodents. TRPA1 is activated by numerous reactive compounds making it a sensor for reactive compounds in the body ...

TRPA1 Contributes to Cold Hypersensitivity [PDF]
TRPA1 is a nonselective cation channel expressed by nociceptors. Although it is widely accepted that TRPA1 serves as a broad irritancy receptor for a variety of reactive chemicals, its role in cold sensation remains controversial. Here, we demonstrate that mild cooling markedly increases agonist-evoked rat TRPA1 currents.

Transient receptor potential (TRP) ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) and vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptors are implicated in modulation of cough and nociception. In vivo, TRPA1 and TRPV1 are often co-expressed in neurons and TRPA1V1 hetero-tetramer formation is noted in ...

Objective Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is an excitatory ion channel expressed on a subset of sensory neurons. TRPA1 is activated by a host of noxious stimuli including pollutants, irritants, oxidative stress and inflammation, and is ...

Current evidence for a modulation of low back pain by human genetic variants [PDF]
The manifestation of chronic back pain depends on structural, psychosocial, occupational and genetic influences. Heritability estimates for back pain range from 30% to 45%. Genetic influences are caused by genes affecting intervertebral disc degeneration

TRPA1‐mediated responses in trigeminal sensory neurons: interaction between TRPA1 and TRPV1 [PDF]
AbstractThe transient receptor potential (TRP)A1 channel is involved in the transduction of inflammation‐induced noxious stimuli from the periphery. Previous studies have characterized the properties of TRPA1 in heterologous expression systems. However, there is little information on the properties of TRPA1‐mediated currents in sensory neurons.
