%X The superfamily of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels is composed by a group of calcium-permeable ionic channels with a generally shared topology. The thermoTRP channels are a subgroup of 11 members, found in the TRPA, TRPV, TRPC, and TRPM subfamilies. Historically, members of this subgroup have been classified as cold, warm or hot-specific temperature sensors. Recently, new experimental results have shown that the role that has been given to the thermoTRPs in thermosensation is not necessarily strict. In addition, it has been shown that these channels activate over temperature ranges, which can have variations depending on the species and the interaction with a specific biological context. Investigation of these interactions could help to elucidate the mechanisms of activation by temperature, which remains uncertain.
