Activator Comments
TRPA1 is activated by covalent modification of intracellular cysteines [59], activated by bradykinin [9,14,64], probably activated by noxious cold [9,131], but this is disputed [64,98], mechano-activation is still under discussion. TRPA1 is modulated by intra- and extracellular Ca2+ [98].

Snake and fly TRPA1 are a heat-activated channels [52,107,148].

In a calcium imaging study the PGD2 metabolite 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 activated the human TRPA1 expressed in HEK293 cells and in a subset of chemosensitive mouse trigeminal neurons, where this activation was blocked by both the nonselective TRP channel blocker ruthenium red, and the TRPA1 inhibitor HC-030031. Δ12-PGJ2 and 8-iso-PGA2 are also activators of TRPA1 [140].

Further compounds which are reported to activate TRPA1 in vitro include: 2-pentenal (mouse) [14], clotrimazole (human and mouse) [94], WIN55212-2 (mouse) [1] and AM1241 (mouse) [1], sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl; mouse and human) [20], 5,6-EET (mouse) [128], hepoxilin A3 (mouse, rat) [54], 12S-HPETE (mouse, rat) [54], carbon dioxide (rat, mouse) [150], acetic, propinoic, formic, and lactic acids (human, rat, mouse) [149].
