| Description: | Capsaicin, the main pungent ingredient in hot chilipeppers, elicits a sensation of burning pain by selectivelyactivating sensory neurons that convey information about noxiousstimuli to the central nervous system. The protein encoded by thisgene is a receptor for capsaicin and is a non-selective cationchannel that is structurally related to members of the TRP familyof ion channels. This receptor is also activated by increases intemperature in the noxious range, suggesting that it functions as atransducer of painful thermal stimuli in vivo. Four transcriptvariants encoding the same protein, but with different 5' UTRsequence, have been described for this gene. |
| Further Information: | This TRPV1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 124-153 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human TRPV1. |
