Bile acids can elicit scratching in mice. Such acids have now been found to stimulate the TGR5 receptor through a TRPA1-dependent pathway [31]. Prostaglandins and leukotrienes can induce itch in human skin and can signal through GPCRs. However, it appears that their function is to potentiate itch rather than evoke it directly. The material above has focused on the role of GPCR activation as evoking itch. There is however a protective side to GPCR signaling. Activation of certain GPCRs has the benefit of inhibiting itch.

The large area of inhibition suggests a central mode of action [16]. Consistent with these results, itch is suppressed inside the secondary zone of capsaicin-induced mechanical hyperalgesia [17]. This central effect of nociceptor excitation by capsaicin should be clearly distinguished from the neurotoxic effect of higher concentrations of capsaicin which destroy most C-fiber terminals, including fibers that mediate itch [18]. The latter mechanism, therefore, also abolishes pruritus locally, until the nerve terminals are regenerated.
