Role of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 channel in pancreatitis

Yuan-Chang Xiong

Abstract

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a non-selective cation channel,which can be activated by multiple pathways during the course of the diseases.Recent studies indicate that primary sensory neurons of the pancreas express TRPV1 receptor and the activation of TRPV1 receptor promotes pancreatic inflammation.Moreover,blockade of these transient receptor potential channels can greatly ameliorate the pain response in experimental pancreatitis.
