| Bioactivity | 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]. |
| Invitro | Spadin (100 nM; COS-7 cells) has inhibitory effect of spadin on the TREK-1 channel and blocks 63% of the TREK-1 current stimulated by arachidonic acid[1].Spadin (100 nM) blocks the TREK-1 channels activity in CA3 hippocampal neurons on brain slices of wild-type mice[1]. |
