Transient receptor potential ion channels (TRPCs) are a superfamily of six transmembrane segment-spanning, gated cation channels. TRPC subtypes mediate store-operated Ca2+ entry, a process involving Ca2+ influx and replenishment of Ca2+ stores formerly emptied through the action of inositol 1,4,5-trisphospate production and other Ca2+ mobilizing agents. TRP ion channels influence calcium-depletion induced calcium influx processes in response to chemo-, mechano- and osmoregulatory events. ANKTM1, also designated TRPA1, plays a role in both nociceptor and hair cell transduction. Activation of ANKTM1 occurs by perception of noxious cold (< 17 degrees Celsius), and pungent natural compounds, such as garlic, cinnamon oil and mustard oil. Inhibition of ANKTM1 impairs hair cell mechanotransduction. Blocking ANKTM1 may be a therapeutic target for treating cold hyperalgesia caused by inflammation and nerve damage.
