1.A.4.6.2
Warm-activated thermosensory cation channel of insects, ThermoTRPV, ANKTM1 or TrpA1 (Viswanath et al., 2003). It is required to control activity during the warm part of the day (Roessingh et al. 2015). The TrpA1(A) transcript spliced with exon10b (TrpA1(A)10b) that is present in a subset of midgut enteroendocrine cells (EECs) is critical for uracil-dependent defecation of microorganisms (Du et al. 2016). TrpA1 is a shear stress mechanosensing channel regulating intestinal stem cell proliferation in Drosophila (Gong et al. 2023).
