K+ channel activator; Cardiomyocyte differentiation

Functions

A direct activator of small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (SK) which dose-dependently relaxes rat mesenteric vessels. Reverses ischemia-induced cognitive impairment and displays neuroprotective effects in ischemia-induced neuronal cell death.  Induces embryonic stem cell differentiation into cardiomyocytes and enrichment of pacemaker-like cells. Induces production of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide in neutrophils with subsequent apoptosis.

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 50 mg/ml) or in Ethanol (up to 30 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or ethanol may be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months.

Research use only.
