1 The vanilloid receptor (VR1) protein functions both as a receptor for capsaicin and a transducer of noxious thermal stimuli. Capsaicin transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 Surprisingly, VR1-ir did not coexist substantially in nerve fibres and terminals that contain substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide, suggesting complex mechanisms for the release of these neuropeptides in response to capsaicin application. Capsaicin transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 Rattus norvegicus
