Additional Info
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in dorsal root and trigeminal ganglia. Specifically expressed in a subset of sensory neurons, including cold-sensitive neurons in trigeminal neurons.
Function
Non-selective ion channel permeable to monovalent and divalent cations, including Na(+), K(+), and Ca(2+), with higher permeability for Ca(2+). Activated by multiple factors, such as temperature, voltage, pressure, and changes in osmolality. Activated by cool temperatures (<23-28 degrees Celsius) and by chemical ligands evoking a sensation of coolness, such as menthol and icilin, therefore plays a central role in the detection of environmental cold temperatures. TRPM8 is a voltage-dependent channel.its activation by cold or chemical ligands shifts its voltage thresholds towards physiological membrane potentials, leading to the opening of the channel. In addition to its critical role in temperature sensing, regulates basal tear secretion by sensing evaporation-induced cooling and changes in osmolality.
