Scientists Discover Heat Sensing Regulator
...phospholipid, allowing access to TRPV1. According to Dong, through this phospholipid Pirt somehow changes the TRP channel, perhaps by opening it wider, or maybe by causing it to stay open longer. And the result is elevated pain sensitivity
Exactly how Pirt regulates the TRPV1 channel isnt yet clear, says Dong. The goal is to find molecules...
