ABSTRACT
Transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channels are a diverse family of channels whose members play prominent roles as cellular sensors and effectors. The important role of TRP channels (and mechanosensitive piezo channels) in the complex interaction of our senses with the environment was underlined by the award of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to 2 pioneers in this field, David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian. There are many competent and comprehensive reviews on many aspects of the TRP channels, and there is no intention to expand on them. Rather, after an introduction to the nomenclature, the molecular architecture of native TRP channel/protein complexes in vivo will be summarized using TRP channels of the canonical transient receptor potential subfamily as an example. This molecular architecture provides the basis for the signatures of native canonical transient receptor potential currents and their control by endogenous modulators and potential drugs.
