Molecular Evolution of the Infrared Sensory Gene TRPA1 in Snakes and Implications for Functional Studies
TRPA1 is a calcium ion channel protein recently identified as the infrared receptor in pit organ-containing snakes. Therefore, understanding the molecular evolution of TRPA1 may help to illuminate the origin of “heat vision” in snakes and reveal the molecular mechanism of infrared sensitivity for TR...
