GlossaryTransient Receptor Potential Channels (TRP channels)

ion channels involved in sensory perception and physiological processes

Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels are a group of ion channels located in the cell membrane that play a crucial role in various physiological processes, including sensation and temperature regulation. These channels respond to a wide range of stimuli, such as temperature changes, pH levels, and mechanical stress, and are involved in sensory functions like pain perception and taste.
