“…PI(4,5)P 2 also directly modulates the function of several ion channels and transporters (Suh and Hille, 2005;Robertson, 2007), including members of the TRP channel family (Qin, 2007;Rohacs, 2014). The mode of action of PI(4,5) P 2 in TRPV1 channels has been the subject of debate (cf., Cao et al, 2013a;Senning et al, 2014); however, there is apparent consensus that PI(4,5)P 2 behaves as a TRPV1 channel agonist Lukacs et al, 2007;Ufret-Vincenty et al, 2011Senning et al, 2014;Poblete et al, 2015). Brauchi et al (2007) showed that alanine replacement of two positively charged residues (R701 and K710) located at the C-terminal region of the TRPV1 channel shifted the dose-response curve of PI(4,5)P 2 to the right.…”
