TRP Channels in Insect Stretch Receptors as Insecticide Targets
Defining the molecular targets of insecticides is crucial for assessing their selectivity and potential impact on environment and health. Two commercial insecticides are now shown to target a transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel complex that is unique to insect stretch receptor cells. Pymetrozine and pyrifluquinazon disturbed Drosophila coordination and hearing by acting on chordotona...
متن کاملTRP channels as drug targets.
Ca2+ channel antagonists acting on electrically-excitable cells have proved to be valuable therapeutic agents. The discovery of such agents and the identification of their molecular target resulted from the investigation of unexpected actions of known pharmacological agents. Ca2+ influx through receptor-operated channels in electrically non-excitable cells such as leukocytes is also functionall...
متن کاملTRP Channels as Therapeutic Targets in Diabetes and Obesity
During the last three to four decades the prevalence of obesity and diabetes mellitus has greatly increased worldwide, including in the United States. Both the short- and long-term forecasts predict serious consequences for the near future, and encourage the development of solutions for the prevention and management of obesity and diabetes mellitus. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels w...
متن کاملTRP Channels: Their Function and Potentiality as Drug Targets
The transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins are a family of ion channels that act as cellular sensors as well as signal integrators. Several members of the TRP family are sensitive to changes in cellular redox status. Among them, TRPA1 is remarkably susceptible to various oxidants and is known to mediate neuropathic pain and respiratory, vascular, and gastrointestinal functions, making TRPA...

Correspondence to: Professor L A Blackshaw, Nerve-Gut Research Laboratory, Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Hanson Institute, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia 5000; ashley.blackshaw@ adelaide.edu.au INTRODUCTION How often do gastroenterologists advise patients to ‘‘avoid spicy food’’ without really knowing why? The answer may lie in the family of transie...
