TRPM3 channel activation inhibits contraction of the isolated human ureter via CGRP released from sensory nerves.
Abstract
Sensory nerve activation modulates ureteral contractility by releasing neuropeptides including CGRP and neurokinin A (NKA). TRPM3 is a recently discovered thermosensitive channel expressed in nociceptive sensory neurons, and plays a key role in heat nociception and chronic pain. The aim of this study is to examine the role of TRPM3 activation in human ureter motility.
