The role of thermosensitive transient receptor potential vanilloid channel in the dissimilation of itching sensitized by warm in atopic dermatitis / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by itch. Transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) receptor subtype channel can be activated by different ranges of harmless temperature, and plays an important role in the warm itching in AD. Inhibitors of TRPV channel can alleviate the symptoms of AD, and may be used as a new target for treatment. This paper introduces the role of thermosensitive TRPV channel in the alienation of itching sensitized by warm in AD.
