TRPA5 encodes a thermosensitive ankyrin ion channel receptor in a triatomine insect

Summary: As ectotherms, insects need heat-sensitive receptors to monitor environmental temperatures and facilitate thermoregulation. We show that TRPA5, a class of ankyrin transient receptor potential (TRP) channels absent in dipteran genomes, may function as insect heat receptors. In the triatomine...
