'''Phosphorylation''' of the TRPV1 receptor leads to its sensitization.Phosphorylations occurs on multiple phosphorylation sites at both N-terminal and C-terminal sites of TRPV1 by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinase kinases]. Phosphorylations are either caused by '''PKC''' (IP3 signalling), by '''PKA''' (AMPc signalling) or by '''CamKII'''.<ref>K. W. Ho, N. J. Ward, et D. J.

Moreover, phosphorylated TRPV1 would have a reduced channel opening threshold.<ref>G. Bhave et al., « Protein kinase C phosphorylation sensitizes but does not activate the capsaicin receptor transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) », Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., vol. 100, no 21, p. 12480‑12485, oct. 2003, doi: 10.1073/pnas.2032100100.</ref>. As a result phosphorylated TRPV1 are more responsive to agonist because they are '''overexpressed''' and because the same quantity of agonist leads to a better openings of ion channels.
