The TRPM2 ion channel is required for sensitivity to warmth

How do we detect warmth? Thermally-activated ion channels expressed in somatosensory neurons detect the entire thermal range from extreme heat (TRPV2), painful heat (TRPV1, TRPM3, ANO1), non-painful warmth (TRPV3 and TRPV4) and non-painful coolness (TRPM8) through to painful cold (TRPA1)1–7.
