Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capsaicin-induced pain is primarily mediated by TRPV1 receptors. TRPM3 receptors are not involved in capsaicin-induced pain, and substance P is a neuropeptide that plays a role in transmitting pain signals to the brain, but is not directly involved in capsaicin-induced pain. There is no such thing as TRP2 receptors.
