DESCRIPTION:“Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels form a superfam
 ily of cation channels involved in a wide variety of physiological and pat
 hophysiological processes. In particular\, several mammalian TRP channels 
 are expressed in sensory neurons\, where they act as molecular sensors of 
 thermal and chemical cues. Here\, an overview will be provided of recent i
 nsights into the molecular and cellular regulation of somatosensory TRP ch
 annels\, and how this impacts on thermosensation. Finally\, the involvemen
 t of sensory TRP channels in pathophysiological processes will be illustra
 ted\, and the potential of these channels as novel drug targets will be di
 scussed.”
