Abstract
<p indent=0mm>Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are nonselective, cationic permeable proteins located on the plasma membrane. They serve as multimode cellular sensors for the perception of physical or chemical stimuli, such as changes in temperature and osmotic pressure, and the perception of pungent and irritant chemicals. Increasing studies showed that these ion channels are not only involved in sensory function but also expressed in different stem cells and involved in regulating their biological characteristics. These studies indicated the potential roles of TRP ion channels in stem cells. This review summarizes the current studies and prospects of the distribution and function of TRP ion channels in stem cells.
