Icilin has been used as cooling agent in anterior ventromedial preoptic area (VMPO) neurons.
일반 설명
Icilin is a synthetic cooling agent and modulates human transient receptor potential cation channel (TRPA1). Icilin inhibits transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8 (TRPM8) and modulates calcium release. Icilin also suppresses transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 3 (TRPV3).
생물학적 활성
Cooling agent that activates the novel cold receptors TRPM8 (CMR1) and TRPA1 (ANKTM1/TRPN1), members of the TRP ion channel family. Induces currents in CMR1-expressing HEK-293 cells (EC 50 = 0.36 μ M) more potently than menthol or low temperatures. Produces "wet shakes" in vivo .
