Resiniferatoxin is a highly potent, naturally derived agonist of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel. It is used in laboratory research to ablate or modulate TRPV1-expressing sensory neurons and to study pain signaling, neurobiology, and cardiac sympathetic afferent reflexes. Supplied as a high-purity solid with storage and solvent guidance, it is intended for research use only (not for human use).
- Potent TRPV1 agonist for targeted neuronal ablation and modulation.
