The TRPV4 ion channel in skin keratinocytes has a significant role to play in the formation and maintenance of barrier function to offset dehydration, a new research has revealed. The TRPV4 ion ...

An international joint research team between Japan and the US have determined that the thermosensor protein TRPV4 is associated with TSD in the American alligator. The research has been published ...

“We show that warm temperature induces the expression of male sex determination genes in ovarian tissues, and that temperature-induced up-regulation of male genes depends on Trpv4, a cation ...

In Scientific Reports this week, researchers report that this so-called temperature-dependent sex determination is linked to a thermosensitive protein called TRPV4. In most vertebrate species ...

How might it work? One study published in the journal Drugs in Context (Oct. 11, 2023) identified the transient receptor potential channel TRPV4 as contributing to acute cough associated with ...

The research team found that a thermosensitive protein called TRPV4 is present within the developing alligator gonad inside the egg. This protein is responsive to warm temperatures near mid-30s ...
