TRP channels are thermally sensitive channels that activate
TRP channels are thermally sensitive channels that activate at the temperatures shown in the graph. Activation causes cation flow, which initiates an action potential in the neuron. As shown in the chart, there is precedent for chemical agents being able to activate these channels.
Congratulations! You’ve just been promoted to Hot Heads Biotech, Inc.’s chief scientist (and bottle washer) (HHI). HHI focuses on channel discovery research in the transient receptor potential (TRP) family. TRPs are non-selective cation channels found in sensory neurons that play a role in temperature perception. Nintendo has approached HHI for assistance in the development of their new virtual reality gaming system, which incorporates their proprietary HEAT technology. HEAT is a verb.

TRP channels are thermally sensitive channels that open at the temperatures depicted in the graph. Activation causes cation flow, which causes the neuron to fire an action potential. There is precedent for chemical agents being able to activate these channels, as shown in the chart.
