Transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) is an excitatory cation channel that is highly expressed in nociceptive neurons and plays an important role in inflammatory pain. TRPA1 mediates the response to the proalgesic bradykinin as well as to pungent irritants found in mustards, garlic, and cinnamon. TRPA1 may also be involved in hearing (as the mammalian hair cell mechanotransducer) and in the detection of cold stimuli.
