The transient receptor potential (TRP) are cation channels mostly permeable to both monovalent and divalent cations. ThermoTRP is a specific group of directly thermally activated TRP channels. The vanilloid transient receptor potential 3 (TRPV3) is an ion channel widely expressed in keratinocytes, that is implicated in the regulation of skin homeostasis, thermo- sensing, nociception and development of itch sensation. Our results show the importance of the cytoplasmic inter-subunit interface in the heat sensitivity of TRPV3. As there is a structural analogy within the vanilloid receptors, our hypothesis of the identified important region is supposed to be valid also for other thermally activated TRPV receptors (TRPV1, TRPV2 and TRPV4). We have proved that TRPV3 is a substrate for ERK1/2 protein kinase (kinase regulated by extracellular signal 1 and 2) and we have identified TRPV3 phosphorylation sites that may be direct targets for ERK1/2. Of these residues, threonine 264 has been shown to be the main phosphorylation site responsible for TRPV3 sensitization mediated by ERK kinase. In human keratinocytes, the phosphorylation might be physiologically and pathophysiologically important in processes of TRPV3 sensitization mediated by MAPK signaling pathway. The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1...
