Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels are a large superfamily of polymodal ion channels, which perform important roles in numerous physiological processes. The architecture of their transmembrane (TM) domains closely resembles that of voltage-gated potassium channels (K<sub>V</sub>). However, recent cryoEM and crystallographic studies of TRP channels have identified π-helices in functionally important regions, and it is increasingly recognized that they utilize a distinct mechanism of gati ...[more]
