What is the role of TRP channels in human health and disease?

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are a group of ion channels that are involved in sensory functions such as taste, temperature, pressure, and pain. They are expressed in various tissues throughout the body, including the nervous, cardiovascular, and immune systems. Dysregulation of TRP channels has been associated with a wide range of human diseases, including chronic pain, neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Understanding the role of TRP channels in human health and disease could lead to the development of novel therapies for the treatment of these conditions.
