TRPV1

TRPV1 is also known as the capsaicin recpetor and VR1(vanilloid receptor 1). TRPV1 stands for transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1. TRPV1 is a protein responsible for detecting and regulating body temperature. It also is a nociceptor, meaning it also provides the sensations of heat and pain to the body. TRPV1 is found primarily in the dorsal root ganglia neurons of the body.

Please note that images are from an anolog of TRPV1, which scientists then modify on computers to turn into TRPV1. As I do not have the software nor time to do so, I will be using the analog to discuss TRPV1 referencing it's active sites and such in the box while explaining the active sites of TRPV1. To reiterate, this is not TRPV1. We are just pretending it is.
