Purpose
- An L-Type Voltage-Gated Ca2+ Channel Activator
-
Specificity
- Toxin target: L-type Ca2+ channels
-
Characteristics
- (±)-Bay K8644 is a dihydropyridine that acts as an L-type, voltage-gated Ca2+ channel agonist. The (-)-enantiomer has strong Ca2+ channel agonist properties, whereas the (+)-enantiomer has weak Ca2+ channel antagonist activity. The net activity of the racemic mix is L-type channel opening. In the presence of this agonist, channels tend to open for longer periods causing a large increase in the channel microscopic response1-4. (±)-Bay K8644 is also an inhibitor (by increasing the inactivation) of a Shaker KV channel5.
