TRPM8
Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8 (TRPM8), also known as the cold and menthol receptor 1 (CMR1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''TRPM8'' gene. The TRPM8 channel is the primary molecular transducer of cold somatosensation in humans.〔〔 == Structure == The TRPM8 channel is a homotetramer, composed of four identical subunits with a transmembrane domain with six helices (S1-S6). The first four, S1-S4, act as the voltage sensor and allow binding of menthol, icilin and similar channel agonists. S5 and S6 and a connecting loop, also part of the structure, make up the pore, a non-selective cation channel which consists of a highly conserved hydrophobic region, A range of diverse components are required for the high level of specificity in responding to result in ion flow to cold and menthol stimuli.
