Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a receptor-activated non-selective cation channel involved in pain detection. TRPA1 is activated by many structurally unrelated electrophilic and non-electrophilic chemical compounds. Electrophilic ligands activate TRPA1 by interacting with critical N-terminal Cys residues covalently. A cytosolic factor is required to keep TRPA1 in an agonist-sensitive state for activation by irritants such as allylthiocyanate (AITC) from mustard oil or wasabi, cinnamaldehyde, and diallyl disulfide (DADS). TRPA1 has been linked to numerous pain conditions and is a target for anti-inflammatory and analgesic therapies.
Inner ear function is also believed to be linked to TRPA1. TRPA1 acts as a component for the mechanosensitive transduction channel of hair cells in the inner ear, thereby participating in the perception of sounds.
