Our results have demonstrated that capsaicin and resiniferatoxin form nanomolar complexes with calmodulin, and competitively inhibit TRPV1-calmodulin interaction. These interactions involve the protein recognition interface of calmodulin, which is responsible for all of the cell-regulatory calmodulin-protein interactions. These results draw attention to a previously unknown vanilloid target, which may contribute to the explanation of the paradoxical pain-modulating behavior of these important pharmacons.}, keywords = {BINDING; ACTIVATION; RESINIFERATOXIN; RESINIFERATOXIN; SENSITIVITY; CAPSAICIN; CAPSAICIN; TRPV1; CALMODULIN; CALMODULIN; Biophysics; Biochemistry & Molecular Biology; TRPV1 CHANNEL; CA2+-DEPENDENT DESENSITIZATION; RECEPTOR TRPV1}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1873-3468}, pages = {2768-2775}, orcid-numbers = {Hetényi, Anasztázia/0000-0001-8080-6992; Wéber, Edit/0000-0002-5904-0619; Szakonyi, Gerda/0000-0002-4366-4283; Bartus, Éva/0000-0001-9976-6978; Martinek, Tamás/0000-0003-3168-8066} }
