In the present study we have investigated the correlation between hyperpolarization-activated current (1(h)) and menthol-activated current (I(TRPM8)) in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. We showed that I(h) is present in 89% of menthol-sensitive neurons which makes its presence reliable, though not absolute, criterion for pre-selection of such neurons. Endogenous I(h) recorded from different neurons exhibited variable density and activation kinetics. Based on the analysis of I(h) activation kinetics we hypothesize that the population of hyperpolarization-activated channels in menthol-sensitive DRG neurons is mainly represented by HCN1, HCN2 and HCN3 channels. The expression of HCN4 isoform in these cells is very low.

D004594 Electrophysiology The study of the generation and behavior of electrical charges in living organisms particularly the nervous system and the effects of electricity on living organisms.
D005727 Ganglia, Spinal Sensory ganglia located on the dorsal spinal roots within the vertebral column. The spinal ganglion cells are pseudounipolar. The single primary branch bifurcates sending a peripheral process to carry sensory information from the periphery and a central branch which relays that information to the spinal cord or brain.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D050053 TRPM Cation Channels A subgroup of TRP cation channels named after melastatin protein. They have the TRP domain but lack ANKYRIN repeats. Enzyme domains in the C-terminus leads to them being called chanzymes.
