Abstract

The Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel, Subfamily A, Member 1 (TRPA1) protein has been identified as an ester cooler receptor and therefore is useful in screening assays for identifying ester coolers, in particular ester coolers with a relative cooling strength which exceeds (−)−menthol.
