Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 3 (TRPM3) is a non-selective, Ca2+-permeable ion channel that plays a pivotal role in peripheral thermosensation and nociception. Moreover, gain-of-function variants in TRPM3 underlie a spectrum of ne…

Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/s41467-026-71226-0

The transient receptor potential melastatin 3 (TRPM3) channel is a key mediator of peripheral pain signaling, and pathogenic mutations in TRPM3 are linked to neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. Despite the therapeutic promise of TRPM3 mo…

Trigeminal nerve injury can lead to chronic and difficult-to-treat orofacial neuropathic pain. Here, we uncover a key role for the cation channel TRPM3 in the chronic constriction injury of the infraorbital nerve (IoN-CCI) mouse model of tr…
