Structural highlights
Disease[TRPA1_HUMAN] Familial episodic pain syndrome with predominantly upper body involvement. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Function[TRPA1_HUMAN] Receptor-activated non-selective cation channel involved in detection of pain and possibly also in cold perception and inner ear function (PubMed:25389312, PubMed:25855297). Has a central role in the pain response to endogenous inflammatory mediators and to a diverse array of volatile irritants, such as mustard oil, cinnamaldehyde, garlic and acrolein, an irritant from tears gas and vehicule exhaust fumes (PubMed:25389312, PubMed:20547126). Is also activated by menthol (in vitro)(PubMed:25389312). Acts also as an ionotropic cannabinoid receptor by being activated by delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana (PubMed:25389312). May be a component for the mechanosensitive transduction channel of hair cells in inner ear, thereby participating in the perception of sounds. Probably operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q8BLA8][1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedDespite the development of effective therapies, a substantial proportion of asthmatics continue to have uncontrolled symptoms, airflow limitation, and exacerbations. Transient receptor potential cation channel member A1 (TRPA1) agonists are elevated in human asthmatic airways, and in rodents, TRPA1 is involved in the induction of airway inflammation and hyperreactivity. Here, the discovery and early clinical development of GDC-0334, a highly potent, selective, and orally bioavailable TRPA1 antagonist, is described. GDC-0334 inhibited TRPA1 function on airway smooth muscle and sensory neurons, decreasing edema, dermal blood flow (DBF), cough, and allergic airway inflammation in several preclinical species. In a healthy volunteer Phase 1 study, treatment with GDC-0334 reduced TRPA1 agonist-induced DBF, pain, and itch, demonstrating GDC-0334 target engagement in humans. These data provide therapeutic rationale for evaluating TRPA1 inhibition as a clinical therapy for asthma. A TRPA1 inhibitor suppresses neurogenic inflammation and airway contraction for asthma treatment.,Balestrini A, Joseph V, Dourado M, Reese RM, Shields SD, Rouge L, Bravo DD, Chernov-Rogan T, Austin CD, Chen H, Wang L, Villemure E, Shore DGM, Verma VA, Hu B, Chen Y, Leong L, Bjornson C, Hotzel K, Gogineni A, Lee WP, Suto E, Wu X, Liu J, Zhang J, Gandham V, Wang J, Payandeh J, Ciferri C, Estevez A, Arthur CP, Kortmann J, Wong RL, Heredia JE, Doerr J, Jung M, Vander Heiden JA, Roose-Girma M, Tam L, Barck KH, Carano RAD, Ding HT, Brillantes B, Tam C, Yang X, Gao SS, Ly JQ, Liu L, Chen L, Liederer BM, Lin JH, Magnuson S, Chen J, Hackos DH, Elstrott J, Rohou A, Safina BS, Volgraf M, Bauer RN, Riol-Blanco L J Exp Med. 2021 Apr 5;218(4). pii: 211821. doi: 10.1084/jem.20201637.
