Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) genes were originally identified as encoding critical components of phototransduction in Drosophila. Since the discovery of the first mammalian transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) some eight years ago, more than 20 mammalian homologues have been reported.
This book brings together contributions from key investigators in the area of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channel structure and function. It covers the structure, function and regulation of mammalian TRP channels and mechanisms of signal transduction. The discussions indicate research that would improve understanding of the role of TRP channels in normal cellular physiology, the involvement of TRP channels in disease states and their potential use as molecular targets for novel therapeutic agents.

Derek J. Chadwick and Jamie A. Goode are editors for Mammalian TRP Channels as Molecular Targets and other scientific titles.
