TrpV1: A Molecular Target in Pain and Inflammation Research
TrpV1 (Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1) is a key molecular sensor for noxious stimuli and a pharmacological target for analgesic development. Its expression is upregulated in response to inflammatory mediators, making it a valuable marker in studies of neuropathic pain, inflammation, and thermoregulation. TrpV1 antibodies enable specific and sensitive detection of TrpV1 in both native and recombinant systems. |

Biosensis TrpV1 antibodies are a powerful research tool for studying pain perception, inflammation, and neurobiology. TrpV1 is a non-selective cation channel activated by capsaicin, heat, and protons, playing a key role in sensory signal transduction. Our antibodies offer consistent performance in detecting both native and denatured forms of TrpV1, making it suitable for a broad range of molecular and cellular biology applications.
They are validated for high specificity and sensitivity and are ideal for detecting endogenous TrpV1 expression across various sample types. |
