Conformational ensemble of the human TRPV3 ion channel

Transient receptor potential vanilloid channel 3 (TRPV3) responds to temperature and sensitizes upon repeated stimulation with either heat or agonists. Here authors present the cryo-EM structures of apo and sensitized human TRPV3 and describe the structural basis of sensitization.
