Mouse TRPA1 function and membrane localization are modulated by direct interactions with cholesterol
The cation channel TRPA1 transduces a myriad of noxious chemical stimuli into nociceptor electrical excitation and neuropeptide release, leading to pain and neurogenic inflammation.

Airway smooth muscle (ASM) contraction controls the airway caliber. Airway narrowing is exaggerated in obstructive lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The mechanism by which ASM tone is dysregulated in disease is not clearly understood.

The cation channel TRPA1 tunes mosquito thermotaxis to host temperatures
While most animals thermotax only to regulate their temperature, female mosquitoes are attracted to human body heat during pursuit of a blood meal.

ION CHANNEL TRPA1 IS A PROMISING THERAPEUTIC TARGET FOR TREATMENT OF PAIN [PDF]
TRPA1 is an ankyrin receptor of TRP family. It is a non-selective, calcium-permeable cation channel that is highly expressed by a subset of small diameter sensory neurons with cell bodies in the dorsal root, trigeminal, nodose and jugular ganglia. In the

Ligand determinants of fatty acid activation of the pronociceptive ion channel TRPA1 [PDF]
Background and purpose. Arachidonic acid (AA) and its derivatives are important modulators of cellular signalling. The transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily A, member 1 (TRPA1) is a cation channel with important functions in mediating ...

The anti-migraine component of butterbur extracts, isopetasin, desensitizes peptidergic nociceptors by acting on TRPA1 cation channel. [PDF]
Background and PurposeThe mechanism of the anti‐migraine action of extracts of butterbur [Petasites hybridus(L.) Gaertn.] is unknown. Here, we investigated the ability of isopetasin, a major constituent of these extracts, to specifically target TRPA1 channel and to affect functional responses relevant to migraine.Experimental ApproachSingle‐cell ...

Pyrazine-fused triterpenoids block the TRPA1 ion channel in vitro and inhibit TRPA1-mediated acute inflammation in vivo [PDF]
TRPA1 is a nonselective cation channel, most famously expressed in nonmyelinated nociceptors. In addition to being an important chemical and mechanical pain sensor, TRPA1 has more recently appeared to have a role also in inflammation.

The role of TRPA1 channels in thermosensation
Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a polymodal nonselective cation channel sensitive to different physical and chemical stimuli. TRPA1 is associated with many important physiological functions in different species and thus is involved in ...

Transient Receptor Potential Channel Ankyrin 1: A Unique Regulator of Vascular Function
TRPA1 (transient receptor potential ankyrin 1), the lone member of the mammalian ankyrin TRP subfamily, is a Ca2+-permeable, non-selective cation channel.
