Target Information

TRPA1 is a TRP-related channel that responds to cold temperatures and pungent compounds and plays a role in both nociceptor and hair cell transduction. TRPA1 is a transformation -associated gene product in lung epithelia, whereas its protein distribution is primarily restricted to sensory neurons. Blocking TRPA1 may be a therapeutic target for treating cold hyperalgesia caused by inflammation and nerve damage. It is now known that TRPA1 protein is also widely expressed outside of the CNS and is dys-regulated during oncogenic transformation. The structure of TRPA1 is highly related to both the protein ankyrin and transmembrane proteins. The specific function of TRPA1 has not yet been determined; however, studies indicate the function may involve a role in signal transduction and growth control.
