objective(s) fatty acid is amide hydrolase which reduce endogenous anandamide. transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (trpv1) channels have been reported to have a role in the modulation of anxiety-like behaviors in rodents. in the present study, the effects of either endocannabinoid system or trpv1 channels and their possible interaction on anxiety-like behaviors of the rats were explored. m...

The mammalian branch of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) superfamily of cation channels consists of 28 members. They can be subdivided in six main subfamilies: the TRPC ('Canonical'), TRPV ('Vanilloid'), TRPM ('Melastatin'), TRPP ('Polycystin'), TRPML ('Mucolipin') and the TRPA ('Ankyrin') group. The TRPV subfamily comprises channels that are critically involved in nociception and thermo-...

Transient receptor potential (TRP) genes encode a family of related ion-channel subunits. This family consists of cation-selective, calcium-permeable channels that include a group of vanilloid receptor channels (TRPV) implicated in pain and inflammation. These channels are activated by diverse stimuli, including capsaicin, lipids, membrane deformation, heat, and protons. Six members of the TRPV...

A series of acyclic phenethylthiocarbamate derivatives have been synthesized, and their antagonist effect against vanilloid receptor tested. Chain branching led to a significant change in antagonist activity of the parent molecule. Ethyl-branched 1e showed a 6.3 microM of IC(50) value in 45Ca(2+)-influx assay.

Transient receptor potential melastatin- (TRPM) and vanilloid-related (TRPV) channels are nonselective cation channels pertinent to diverse physiological functions. Multiple TRPM and TRPV channel subtypes have been identified and cloned in different tissues. However, their information in vascular tissue is scant. In this study, we sought to identify TRPM and TRPV channel subtypes expressed in r...

Depending on their primary structure, the 28 mammalian transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channels identified so far can be sorted into 6 subfamilies: TRPC ("Canonical"), TRPV ("Vanilloid"), TRPM ("Melastatin"), TRPP ("Polycystin"), TRPML ("Mucolipin"), and TRPA ("Ankyrin"). The TRPV subfamily (vanilloid receptors) comprises channels critically involved in nociception and thermosensing (...
