Trpv1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables calcium channel activity; identical protein binding activity; and temperature-gated ion channel activity. Involved in detection of temperature stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; monoatomic ion transmembrane transport; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including diet induced thermogenesis; fever generation; and sensory perception of chemical stimulus. Located in neuron projection and plasma membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; cochlea; dorsal root ganglion; and eye. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in migraine. Orthologous to human TRPV1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Trpv1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
