Transient receptor vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), which is a chemosensory receptor, plays a pivotal role in the perception of many pungent compounds, suggesting that the activity of this receptor might be useful as an index for pungency evaluation. Although Ca<sup>2+</sup>-sensitive fluorescence dyes are commonly used for measuring human TRPV1 (h ...[more]
