TRPV1
The primary caustic compound in hot chili peppers, capsaicin, causes a searing pain feeling by specifically stimulating sensory neurons that send information about noxious stimuli to the brain. The capsaicin receptor protein that this gene produces is a non-selective cation channel that shares structural similarities with members of the TRP family of ion channels. The fact that this receptor is activated by increases in unpleasant temperature suggests that it performs in vivo as a transducer of painful thermal stimuli.
