The channel is steeply temperature-dependent and undergoes characteristic sensitization with repeated stimulation, a hysteresis intrinsic to channel gating that arises from relief of Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated inhibition acting at an N-terminal site [PMID:18178557, PMID:22006988]. Distinct activation modalities are mechanistically separable and map to discrete structural determinants: pore-region S6 and adjacent residues control heat activation [PMID:19160498], cytoplasmic residues H426 and R696 control 2-APB sensitivity [PMID:19164517], pore cysteine C619 controls camphor sensitivity [PMID:23625413], and the intracellular TRP domain governs use-dependent temperature gating [PMID:28154143]. Cryo-EM structures across closed, sensitized, open, and inactivated states establish that gating proceeds through α-to-π helical transitions in the pore-lining S6 helices and that agonists bind allosteric sites distal to the pore — including the vanilloid site and S1-S4/ARD-TMD linker sites — to converge on pore opening, with bound lipids stabilizing the closed selectivity filter [PMID:30127359, PMID:32572252, PMID:38691614]; TRPV3 additionally adopts a pore-dilated pentameric assembly in dynamic equilibrium with the canonical tetramer [PMID:37648856]. Channel activity is negatively regulated by intracellular protons sensed at H426 [PMID:22679014], by Mg2+ acting on both sides of the pore [PMID:22622423], by ATP competing with calmodulin at the N-terminal ankyrin repeat domain [PMID:19864432], by PI(4,5)P2 binding TRP-domain basic residues [PMID:21321070], by FIH-mediated asparaginyl hydroxylation at N242 as an oxygen-sensing input [PMID:25413349], and by the interacting protein TMEM79, which promotes its lysosomal degradation [PMID:37474531]. In keratinocytes, TRPV3-mediated Ca2+ influx relays temperature information to sensory neurons via ATP release [PMID:19669158], drives proliferation through a Ca2+/CaMKII→TGFα/EGFR→PI3K→NF-κB cascade [PMID:32535744], regulates NOS-independent NO production and wound healing [PMID:21712817], and cooperates with PAR2 to convey itch [PMID:32004565]. Beyond skin, TRPV3 mediates strontium-dependent oocyte egg activation [PMID:24316078] and contributes to cerebrovascular endothelial dilation [PMID:26453324].

The channel is steeply temperature-dependent and undergoes characteristic sensitization with repeated stimulation, a hysteresis intrinsic to channel gating that arises from relief of Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated inhibition acting at an N-terminal site [#9, #17]. Distinct activation modalities are mechanistically separable and map to discrete structural determinants: pore-region S6 and adjacent residues control heat activation [#11], cytoplasmic residues H426 and R696 control 2-APB sensitivity [#12], pore cysteine C619 controls camphor sensitivity [#27], and the intracellular TRP domain governs use-dependent temperature gating [#33]. Cryo-EM structures across closed, sensitized, open, and inactivated states establish that gating proceeds through α-to-π helical transitions in the pore-lining S6 helices and that agonists bind allosteric sites distal to the pore — including the vanilloid site and S1-S4/ARD-TMD linker sites — to converge on pore opening, with bound lipids stabilizing the closed selectivity filter [#35, #40, #51]; TRPV3 additionally adopts a pore-dilated pentameric assembly in dynamic equilibrium with the canonical tetramer [#49]. Channel activity is negatively regulated by intracellular protons sensed at H426 [#22], by Mg2+ acting on both sides of the pore [#23], by ATP competing with calmodulin at the N-terminal ankyrin repeat domain [#14], by PI(4,5)P2 binding TRP-domain basic residues [#18], by FIH-mediated asparaginyl hydroxylation at N242 as an oxygen-sensing input [#29], and by the interacting protein TMEM79, which promotes its lysosomal degradation [#50]. In keratinocytes, TRPV3-mediated Ca2+ influx relays temperature information to sensory neurons via ATP release [#13], drives proliferation through a Ca2+/CaMKII→TGFα/EGFR→PI3K→NF-κB cascade [#37], regulates NOS-independent NO production and wound healing [#19], and cooperates with PAR2 to convey itch [#42]. Beyond skin, TRPV3 mediates strontium-dependent oocyte egg activation [#25] and contributes to cerebrovascular endothelial dilation [#31].
