Product Details
TRPM8 (Extracellular region)
The Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin (TRPM) subfamily of cation-permeable channels is ubiquitous in mammalian tissues. This family includes TRPM1-8. In addition to acting as a calcium-permeant channel, some TRPM family members, TRPM6 and TRPM7, possess serine/threonine kinase activity and autophosphorylation. TRPM8 is thermoactivated at mildly cold temperatures (>25oC), and can also be activated by compounds that cause a cooling sensation, such as menthol and icilin. TRPM8 is expressed in trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia neurons where it confers sensitivity to cold in the somatosensory system. In vascular smooth muscle, TRPM8 may alter blood flow by constricting or enlarging blood vessels. TRPM8 is also expressed in normal prostate epithelial cells, as well as overexpressed in several primary tumors including colon, lung, skin, breast, and prostate cancers.

UniProt Summary: Non-selective ion channel permeable to monovalent and divalent cations, including Na(+), K(+), and Ca(2+), with higher permeability for Ca(2+). Activated by multiple factors, such as temperature, voltage, pressure, and changes in osmolality. Activated by cool temperatures (<23-28 degrees Celsius) and by chemical ligands evoking a sensation of coolness, such as menthol and icilin therefore plays a central role in the detection of environmental cold temperatures. TRPM8 is a voltage-dependent channel; its activation by cold or chemical ligands shifts its voltage thresholds towards physiological membrane potentials, leading to the opening of the channel. In addition to its critical role in temperature sensing, regulates basal tear secretion by sensing evaporation-induced cooling and changes in osmolality. May plays a role in prostate cancer cell migration.
