- Abstract: Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are a special type of non-selective cationic channel family located on the cell membrane or organelle membrane, and notably expressed in melanocytes. This review summarizes recent research progress in biological functions of TRP channels in melanocytes and their involvement in the pathological process of pigmented skin diseases and melanoma, so as to provide a new theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of melanin-related diseases.
