Application: | Tertiapin was used for developing a novel CZE-DAD method for analyzing the honeybee venom. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | A potent inhibitor of the inward-rectifier K+ channels, blocked a G-protein-gated channel (GIRK1/4) and the ROMK1 channel with nanomolar affinities, however a closely related channel, IRK1, was insensitive to tertiapin. Thus, tertiapin is a tool for purifying functional channels as well as for screening pharmaceutical agents against these channels. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Tertiapin is a peptide isolated from honey bee venom, which is a selective IKACh blocker that prolongs the atrial effective refractory period and terminates the atrial fibrillation. It is a selective and potent inhibitor of muscarinic K+ channels in rabbit cardiac myocytes. |
Preparation Note: | Tertiapin dissolves in water at 1 mg/ml to yield a clear solution. |
