Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) family is a large superfamily of widely expressed ion channels. In recent years, several studies have been conducted on the mechanism of action of TRP. However, studies on the role of TRP in liver diseases are limited. In fact, TRP plays a vital role in the progression of many liver diseases, such as hepatic fibrosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, alcoholic fatty liver disease, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This review aimed to summarize the recent reports of the involvement of TRP in different liver diseases and introduce the achievements of our team in recent years about the role of the TRPV subfamily in hepatic fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
