Biochem Physiol Actions: TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) is a capsaicin receptor. It is strongly expressed in sensory neurons and participates in pain perception. In brain, it regulates neuronal function, motor behaviour and neuroinflammation. Capsaicin plays an important role in the activation of TRPV1.
