Notes: Tertiapin Q is a peptide derivative of the honeybee venom peptide and inhibitor of inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels, tertiapin.{65435} It inhibits heteromultimeric potassium channels composed of G protein-activated inward rectifier potassium channel 1 (GIRK1) and GIRK4, also known as Kir3.1 and Kir3.4, respectively, as well as the inward-rectifier potassium channel 1 (Kir1.1; Kis = 13.3 and 1.3 nM, respectively).{65436} Tertiapin Q inhibits voltage-stimulated hyperpolarization and increases action potential duration in mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons in a concentration-dependent manner.{65437} It inhibits BK-type potassium channels in Xenopus oocytes expressing the human BK channel α subunit (IC50 = 5.8 nM).
