    protein channel that detects heat, acidity, and capsaicin

    Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), also known as the Capsaicin Receptor, is a protein found on the surface of certain cells, including sensory neurons. It acts as an ion channel that opens in response to heat, acidic conditions, and capsaicin (the compound that makes chili peppers hot), playing a crucial role in the sensation of pain and temperature.
