ABSTRACT: Background and purpose: N-arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA) has complex effects on nociception mediated via cannabinoid CB1 receptors and the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1). Anandamide, the prototypic CB1/TRPV1 agonist, also inhibits T-type voltage-gated calcium channel currents (ICa). These channels are expressed by many excitable cells, ... Continue Reading

STUDY: Dermatitis -TRP Channel Cannabinoid Receptors in Skin Sensation, Homeostasis, and Inflammation
ABSTRACT: In the skin, cannabinoid lipids, whether of endogenous or exogenous origin, are capable of regulating numerous sensory, homeostatic, and inflammatory events. Although many of these effects are mediated by metabotropic cannabinoid receptors, a growing body of evidence has revealed that multiple members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel family ...
