An introduction to TRP channels. (2006, background): “Although first identified in prostate, in which it is proposed to be an androgenresponsive channel (160), TRPM8 has been most convincingly described as a cold- and menthol-activated nonselective cation channel with prominent voltagedependent gating properties (71, 161–163).”
