The TRPA1 receptor‐channel is a therapeutic target for the discovery of novel pain drugs. In man, a single gain‐of‐function mutation in TRPA1, N855S, is known to be the cause of a familial episodic pain syndrome (FEPS). Multimodal activation by various stimuli is a fundamental feature of TRPA1 so that the precise manner in which TRPA1 and N855S‐TRPA1 is activated under pathophysiological conditions is not known, but is thought to be due to a combined effect of an array of inflammatory and…
