"During the last two decades, there has been an explosion of research pertaining to the molecular mechanisms that allow for organisms to detect different stimuli that is an essential feature for their survival. Among these mechanisms, living beings need to be able to respond to different temperatures as well as chemical and physical stimuli. Thermally activated ion channels were proposed to be present in sensory neurons in the 1980s, but it was not until 1997 that a heat- and capsaicin- activated ion channel, TRPV1, was cloned and its function described in detail. This groundbreaking discovery led to the identification and characterization of several more proteins of the family of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels. Intensive research has provided us with the atomic structures of some of these proteins, as well as understanding of their physiological roles, both in normal and pathological conditions. With chapters contributed by renowned experts in the field, Neurobiology of TRP Channels contains a state- of- the- art overview of our knowledge of TRP channels, ranging from structure to their functions in organismal physiology.? Features: Contains chapters on the roles of several TRP ion channels with a diversity of physiological functions, providing a complete picture of the widespread importance of these proteins. Presents an overview of the structure of TRP channels, including the roles of these proteins in different physiological processes. Discusses the roles of TRP channels in pathophysiological processes, further highlighting their importance. Features several full color illustrations to allow the reader better comprehension of TRP channels.A volume in the Frontiers in Neuroscience series"--Provided by publisher.

TRP channels play a key role in sensory physiology and have been the focus of intensive investigation in recent years. This book is a comprehensive, detailed overview of the ways in which TRP channels are involved in a wide variety of sensory modalities. Authors explore the involvement of TRP channels in phototransduction (sight), chemotransduction (taste and odor), mechanotransduction (touch and hearing), thermotransduction (the sensation of temperature), and pain perception. Furthermore, the book includes some grounding chapters such as one on the history of TRP channel research, one on the biophysical characteristics of the proteins, and one on trafficking and post-translational regulation.

In this fast moving field the main goal of this volume is to provide up-to-date information on the molecular and functional properties and pharmacology of mammalian TRP channels. Leading experts in the field have written 35 essays which describe properties of a single TRP protein/channel or portray more general principles of TRP function and important pathological situations linked to mutations of TRP genes or their altered expression. Thereby this volume on Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) Channels provides valuable information for readers with different expectations and backgrounds, for those who are approaching this field of research as well as for those wanting to make a trip to TRPs, from pharmacologists and physiologists to medical doctors, other scientists, students and lecturers. It fills a gap between pharmacology textbooks and latest manuscripts in scientific periodicals.

Almost 25 years ago, the first mammalian transient receptor potential (TRP) channel was cloned and published. TRP channels now represent an extended family of 28 members fulfilling multiple roles in the living organism. Identified functions include control of body temperature, transmitter release, mineral homeostasis, chemical sensing, and survival mechanisms in a challenging environment. The TRP channel superfamily covers six families: TRPC with C for "canonical", TRPA with A for "ankyrin", TRPM with M for "melastatin", TRPML with ML for "mucolipidin", TRPP with P for "polycystin", and TRPV with V for "vanilloid". Over the last few years, new findings on TRP channels have confirmed their exceptional function as cellular sensors and effectors. This Special Book features a collection of 8 reviews and 7 original articles published in "Cells" summarizing the current state-of-the-art on TRP channel research, with a main focus on TRP channel activation, their physiological and pathophysiological function, and their roles as pharmacological targets for future therapeutic options.
