Functional Characteristics γ = 35 pS at – 60 mV; 77 pS at + 60 mV, conducts mono and di‐valent cations with a selectivity for divalents (PCa/PNa = 9.6); voltage‐ and time‐ dependent outward rectification; potentiated by ethanol; activated/potentiated/upregulated by PKC stimulation; extracellular acidification facilitates activation by PKC; desensitisation inhibited by PKA; inhibited by Ca2+/ calmodulin; cooling reduces vanilloid‐evoked currents; may be tonically active at body temperature Conducts mono‐ and di‐valent cations (PCa/PNa = 0.9–2.9); dual (inward and outward) rectification; current increases upon repetitive activation by heat; translocates to cell surface in response to IGF‐1 to induce a constitutively active conductance, translocates to the cell surface in response to membrane stretch
