w-Aga-TK Lyophilized. Specific P-type calcium channel blocker with no apparent effect on L-type, N-type, and T-type channels. Useful tool for investigating the role of P-type calcium channels in the peripheral and central nervous systems. Also inhibits the release of amino acid transmitters and monoamines. Biological activity: Shown to inhibit K+-induced 3H-GABA release from primary rat hippocampal neurons. Purity: ≥99% by HPLC. CAS 145017-83-0.
