TRP channels: sensors and transducers of gasotransmitter signals

TRP channels: sensors and transducers of gasotransmitter signals

The transient receptor potential (trp) gene superfamily encodes cation channels that act as multimodal sensors for a wide variety of stimuli from outside and inside the cell. Upon sensing, they transduce electrical and Ca2+ signals via their cation channel activities. These functional features of TR...
