What are TRPV1, TRPA1, and TRPM3 channels?
TRPV1, TRPA1, and TRPM3 channels are a group of ion channels that are expressed in sensory neurons. TRPV1, also known as the capsaicin receptor, is triggered by spicy compounds and heat. TRPA1 responds to irritants and environmental pollutants while TRPM3 regulates calcium ion flow. These channels play a vital role in the perception of physical and chemical stimuli, making them potential targets for therapeutic interventions for chronic pain, inflammation, and other conditions.
