function:Putative receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. It is activated by innocuous (warm) temperatures and shows an increased response at noxious temperatures greater than 39 degrees Celsius. Activation exhibits an outward rectification. May associate with TRPV1 and may modulate its activity.,similarity:Belongs to the transient receptor family. TrpV subfamily.,similarity:Contains 3 ANK repeats.,subunit:May form a heteromeric channel with TRPV1. Interacts with TRPV1.,tissue specificity:Abundantly expressed in CNS. Widely expressed at low levels. Detected in dorsal root ganglion (at protein level).,
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Abundantly expressed in CNS. Widely expressed at low levels. Detected in dorsal root ganglion (at protein level). Expressed in the keratinocyte layers of the outer root sheath and, to lesser extent, to the matrix of the hair follicles (at protein level).
