1.A.4.6.5
Thermosensitive TPR channel TRPA1 (TrpA-1) of 1211 aas.  Detects a temperature drop promoting increased longevity.  This requires TPRA1-mediated Ca2+ influx and activation of protein kinase C.  Human TRPA1 (TC# 1.A.4.6.3) can functionally substitute for worm TRPA-1 in promoting longevity (Xiao et al. 2013).  Also mediates touch sensation.
