Description
Summary:Abstract Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels with temperature sensitivities (thermo‐TRPs) are involved in various physiological processes. Thermo‐TRPs that detect temperature changes in peripheral sensory neurons possess indispensable functions in thermosensation, eliciting defensive behavior against noxious temperatures and driving autonomic/behavioral thermoregulatory responses to maintain body temperature in mammals. Moreover, most thermo‐TRPs are functionally expressed in cells and tissues where the temperature is maintained at a constant core body temperature. To perform physiological functions, the activity of each thermo‐TRP channel must be regulated by endogenous mechanisms at body temperature. Dysregulation of this process can lead to various diseases. This review highlights the endogenous factors regulating thermo‐TRP activity and physiological functions at constant core body temperature.
