Abstract

TRP cation channels display an extraordinary assortment of selectivities and activation mechanisms, some of which represent previously unrecognized modes for regulating ion channels. Moreover, the biological roles of TRP channels appear to be equally diverse and range from roles in pain perception to male aggression.
