Insect bristles are model mechanosensory organs. An ion channel of the TRP superfamily has recently been identified which is required for production of mechanoreceptor currents by insect bristles, and seems likely to represent a new kind of mechanically gated channel.
昆虫刚毛是典型的机械感觉器官。最近在TRP超家族中鉴定出一种离子通道，它是昆虫刚毛产生机械感受器电流所必需的，并且似乎代表了一种新型的机械门控通道。
