TRP Channels in the Genitourinary Tract

Recently, TRP channels have been implicated in numerous pathologies of the genitourinary (GU) tract. TRP channels are differently expressed along the GU tract, and several lines of evidence suggest that they also have different roles in the pathophysiology of GU tract diseases. In this chapter, we focus on the expression and role of TRP in the urinary bladder and give an overall idea of TRP channel expression and function in the remaining GU tract.
