Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanillin 3 (TRPV3) is a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily. As a Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channel, TRPV3 can recognize thermal stimulation (31-39 °C), and it plays an important regulatory role in temperature perception, pain transduction, skin physiology, inflammation, cancer and other diseases. TRPV3 is not only activated by the changes in the temperature, but it also can be activated by a variety of chemical and physical stimuli. Selective TRPV3 agonists and antagonists with regulatory effects and the physiological functions for clinical application are highly demanded. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the study of TRPV3, but there is still a lack of modulators with a strong affinity and excellent selectivity. This paper reviews the functional characteristics of TRPV3 in terms of the structure, diseases and the research on TRPV3 modulators.
