Biochemical pharmacology of the vanilloid receptor TRPV1. An update.
There is mounting evidence that the vanilloid (capsaicin) receptor; transient receptor potential channel, vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1), is subjected to multiple interacting levels of control. The first level is by reversible phosphorylation catalyzed by intrinsic kinases (e.g. protein kinase A and C) and phosphatases (e.g. calcineurin), which plays a pivotal role in receptor sensitizati...
متن کاملUncoupling proton activation of vanilloid receptor TRPV1.
Multimodal gating is an essential feature of many TRP ion channels, enabling them to respond to complex cellular environments. TRPV1, a pain receptor involved in nociception at the peripheral nerve terminals, can be activated by a range of physical and chemical stimuli (e.g., capsaicin, proton, and heat) and further sensitized by proinflammatory substances. How a single receptor achieves this m...
متن کاملVascular Expression of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1)
Dear Editor, In the February 2014 issue of the Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, Tόth and colleagues published a report on Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) expression and function in the rat vascular system (Tόth et al. 2014). The authors found that several commercially available anti-TRPV1 antibodies were not selective for TRPV1, and identified two that were considered...
متن کاملBinding Mode Prediction of Evodiamine within Vanilloid Receptor TRPV1
Accurate assessment of the potential binding mode of drugs is crucial to computer-aided drug design paradigms. It has been reported that evodiamine acts as an agonist of the vanilloid receptor Transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1). However, the precise interaction between evodiamine and TRPV1 was still not fully understood. In this perspective, the homology models of TRPV1 were gener...
متن کاملCapsazepine, a Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid Type 1 (TRPV1) Antagonist, Attenuates Antinociceptive Effect of CB1 Receptor agonist, WIN55,212-2, in the Rat Nucleus Cuneiformis
Introduction: Nucleus cuneiformis (NCF), as part of descending pain inhibitory system, cooperates with periaqueductal gray (PAG) and rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) in supraspinal modulation of pain. Cannabinoids have analgesic effects in the PAG, RVM and NCF. The transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1(TRPV1) can be activated by anandamide and WIN55,212-2 as a cannabinoid receptor ago...
