Human skin, as a sophisticated sensory organ, is able to detect subtle changes in ambient temperature. This thermosensory capability is primarily mediated by temperature-sensitive TRP channels expressed in both sensory neurons and keratinocytes. Among these, TRPV3, which responds to warm temperatures and plays a crucial role in various skin functions, is particularly notable. TRPV3 channels not only detect moderate warmth but are also sensitive to chemical ligands that evoke thermal sensations. The activation of TRPV3 by warm temperatures and compounds highlights its importance in the molecular mechanisms underlying skin thermosensation. This review mainly discusses the role of TRPV3, particularly its contribution to skin thermosensation and structural insights into its temperature sensitivity, providing an understanding of how TRPV3 modulates thermal perception at the molecular level.
