Consequences of a human TRPA1 genetic variant on the perception of nociceptive and olfactory stimuli.

Consequences of a human TRPA1 genetic variant on the perception of nociceptive and olfactory stimuli.

BACKGROUND: TRPA1 ion channels are involved in nociception and are also excited by pungent odorous substances. Based on reported associations of TRPA1 genetics with increased sensitivity to thermal pain stimuli, we therefore hypothesized that this association also exists for increased olfactory sens...
