Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M (melastatin) member 8 (TRPM8), also known as the cold and menthol receptor 1 (CMR1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRPM8 gene.[5][6] The TRPM8 channel is the primary molecular transducer of cold somatosensation in humans.[5][7] In addition, mints can desensitize a region through the activation of TRPM8 receptors (the 'cold'/menthol receptor).[8]
