Description

The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels are cation channels. Some members of the TRP family have been shown to be gated by mechanical stimulation (Adapted from FBrf0248531.)

Notes on Group

The MECHANOSENSITIVE TRANSIENT RECEPTOR POTENTIAL ION CHANNELS gene group are a subset of the TRANSIENT RECEPTOR POTENTIAL CHANNELS gene group which have been shown to have a role in mechanosensation.
