Modulation of the heat- and capsaicin-gated channel TRPV1 : role of NGF and PKC beta
Nerve growth factor (NGF), one of the major inflammatory mediators released following tissue injury, causes thermal hyperalgesia by sensitisation of the heat- and capsaicin-gated ion channel, TRPV1. The molecular mechanisms by which NGF causes sensitisation of TRPV1 remain controversial. In this the...
