There are 27 members of the TRP receptor family in humans, each with their own functions and different tissue distribution. Most TRP channels, including TRPV1, are weakly selective for calcium ions.

Ion channels, which allow potassium and sodium ions to flow in and out of cells, are crucial in neuronal 'firing' in the central nervous system and for brain and heart function. These channels use a ' ...

Calcium ions are presented in rocks, bones, shells, biominerals, geological deposits, ocean sediments, and many other important materials. Calcium ions also play major roles in the retention of carbon ...
