Function
Non-selective calcium permeant cation channel involved in detection of noxious chemical and thermal stimuli. Seems to mediate proton influx and may be involved in intracellular acidosis in nociceptive neurons. Involved in mediation of inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Postsynaptic cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cell projection, dendritic spine membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Widely expressed at low levels. Expression is elevated in dorsal root ganglia. In skin, expressed in cutaneous sensory nerve fibers, mast cells, epidermal keratinocytes, dermal blood vessels, the inner root sheet and the infundibulum of hair follicles, differentiated sebocytes, sweat gland ducts, and the secretory portion of eccrine sweat glands (at protein level)
