Product Description: Spadin, a natural peptide derived from a propeptide released in blood, is a potent TREK-1 channel blocker with IC50 value of 10 nM. Spadin enhances dorsal raphe nucleus 5-HT neurotransmission in mice and induces hippocampal CREB activation and neurogenesis. Spadin can be used for antidepressant research[1][2].
Applications: Neuroscience-Neuromodulation
Formula: C96H142N26O22
