Capsaicin -- pharmacology : Turning up the heat on pain : TRPV1 receptors in pain and inflammation / Annika B. Malmberg, Keith R. Bley, editors
A subgroup of TRP cation channels named after the vanilloid receptor. They are very sensitive to TEMPERATURE; hot spicy food, and CAPSAICIN. They contain a TRP domain (a five-turn amphipathic helix with an invariant TRYPTOPHAN) and ANKYRIN repeats. Selectivity for CALCIUM over SODIUM ranges from 3 to 100 fold
