The ankyrin repeat domain of the TRPA protein painless is important for thermal nociception but not mechanical nociception.
The Drosophila TRPA channel Painless is required for the function of polymodal nociceptors which detect noxious heat and noxious mechanical stimuli. These functions of Painless are reminiscent of mammalian TRPA channels that have also been implicated in thermal and mechanical nociception. A popular...
