Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are essential components of biological sensors
that detect changes in the environment in response to a myriad of stimuli. A major difficulty in
the study of TRP channels is the lack of pharmacological agents that modulate most
members of the TRP superfamily. Notable exceptions are the thermoTRPs, which respond to
either cold or hot temperatures and are modulated by a relatively large number of chemical
agents. In the present study we demonstrate by patch clamp whole cell recordings from …
