Background

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) has been shown to be a ligand-gated non-selective cation channel following its successful cloning from rat [1] and human [2, 3] sensory neurons. It can be activated by capsaicin and resiniferatoxin [4], as well as noxious heat [1], low pH [5], some lipid mediators such as anandamide [6] and lipoxygenase product 12-( S ) hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid [7]. Results from mutant mice lacking TRPV1 demonstrate that TRPV1 is essential ...
