TRPV1 (Capsaicin receptor, Osm-9-like TRP channel 1)

The transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 (TRPV1), also known as the capsaicin receptor is a protein which in humans is encoded by the TRPV1 gene. TRPV1 (also called Vanilloid receptor type 1) is a ligand-gated nonselective cation channel that is considered to be an important integrator of various pain stimuli such as endogenous lipids, capsaicin, heat, and low pH. In addition to expression in primary afferents, TRPV1 is also expressed in the CNS. Cui M et al. (2006) demonstrate that TRPV1 receptors in the CNS play an important role in pain mediated by central sensitization. And the significant CNS penetration is necessary for a TRPV1 antagonist to produce broad-spectrum analgesia. And TRPV1 also participates in normal bladder function and is essential for normal mechanically evoked purinergic signaling by the urothelium.\n\nUniProt Number:\nQ8NER1\n\nGene ID:\nTRPV1\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin).\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year.
