- Description: The transient receptor potential cation channel family member ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is an ion channel with high Ca2+ permeability that is activated by numerous noxious stimuli and by multiple products of oxidative stress. TRPA1 is a drug target with antagonists in phase I and II clinical trials. It is considered a potential target in multiple pain conditions including neuropathic, inflammatory and migraine pain, in addition to cough sensitivity, airway inflammation and fibrosis This HeLa cell line is stably transfected with a dual-gene promotor (pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-copGFP) to express both GFP and hTRPA1.
