TRPV1

Ion channel receptor detecting heat and pain stimuli.

Key Functions:

• Senses heat, capsaicin, and noxious stimuli.
• Contributes to pain and thermoregulation.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Thermoreceptor (broader category)
• Nociceptor (pain signaling)
• Nervous System (sensory signaling)
• Sensory Receptor Atlas (thermoreceptor population data)
• Sensory Receptor Atlas (nociceptor population data)
