1 The activation mechanism of rat vanilloid receptor 1 by capsaicin involves the pore domain and differs from the activation by either acid or heat. Capsaicin transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 The recently cloned rat vanilloid receptor, VR1, can be activated by capsaicin, acid, and heat. Capsaicin transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 Three of the mutant channels are significantly more sensitive to capsaicin than is wild-type VR1, whereas none differed in their activation by acidic pH or temperature. Capsaicin transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 Rattus norvegicus
4 These data indicate that VR1 undergoes conformational changes upon capsaicin binding that it does not undergo in response to activation by protons or thermal stimuli. Capsaicin transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 Rattus norvegicus
