Usage

General Description

Tertiapin is a small peptide inhibitor that specifically targets and blocks the activity of inward-rectifier potassium channels (IRK). These channels play a crucial role in regulating the electrical activity of cells, particularly in the heart and nervous system. By binding to and blocking IRK channels, Tertiapin can affect a range of physiological processes, including heart rate and neuronal signaling. Additionally, Tertiapin has been studied for its potential as a therapeutic agent for conditions such as atrial fibrillation and chronic pain. Its specific mechanism of action and potential medical applications make Tertiapin an important chemical in the field of pharmacology and biomedical research.
