Specifications
Target Information
Capsaicin is a compound found in chili peppers that targets the TRPV1 receptor, a non-selective cation channel expressed in sensory neurons. Activation of the TRPV1 receptor by capsaicin leads to an influx of calcium and sodium ions, resulting in the sensation of heat and pain. This mechanism underlies its use in topical analgesics and its role in modulating pain perception. Capsaicin also has anti-inflammatory properties and can influence metabolic processes. Its specific interaction with the TRPV1 receptor makes it a relevant target for antibody development to enhance detection and monitoring in pain management and metabolic studies.
