Modulation of the thermo- and hypotonicity-sensitive ion channel TRPV4

In this thesis, the role of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) in mechanical hyperalgesia induced by inflammatory mediators and second-messenger pathways was investigated. The hypotonicity-activated [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>I</sub> increase in HEK293 cells transien...
