TRPV1 temperature activation is specifically sensitive to strong decreases in amino acid hydrophobicity
Abstract Several transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels can be directly activated by hot or cold temperature with high sensitivity. However, the structures and molecular mechanism giving rise to their high temperature sensitivity are not fully understood. One hypothesized mechanism assumes...
