Ion channels of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily are non-selective cationic channels with six transmembrane domains. The TRP channel made its first debut as a light-gated Ca2+ channel in Drosophila. Recently, research on animal sensation in Drosophila disclosed other members of the TRP family that are required for touch sensation and hearing as well as the sensation of painful stimuli.
