L8407-1MG - APAMIN
APAMIN | Product ID | L8407-1MG |
| Name | APAMIN |
| Molecular formula | C79H131N31O24S4 |
| Description |
It is a small, basic, polypeptidic toxin which blocks a class of Ca2+-activated K+ channels. It crosses the blood brain barrier and possesses a convulsant activity. 18-amino acid peptide with 2 disulfide bridges , from Apis mellifera bee venom. |
| Biological activity | Nanomolar concentrations block small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels. It induces motor hyperactivity and is a potent convulsant. |
