TRPA1 receptor agonist
TRPA1 receptor agonists are substances that agonize transient receptor potential cation channel, member A1 receptors.[1][2]
Effects
Hypothesized molecular identity of cold-sensitive afferents based upon the expression of TRPM8 and TRPA1
TRPA1 agonists have been and remain the subject of research into their potential thermoreceptoric activity.[1][2]
