Bioactivity | β-Pompilidotoxin (β-PMTX), a wasp venom, can slow sodium channel inactivation and increases steady-state sodium current in cells[1]. |
Invitro | β-Pompilidotoxin (β-PMTX) increases resurgent current in wild-type neurons and induced resurgent current in med neurons. β-Pompilidotoxin (10 μM) modestly but significantly increased the decay time constant (τdecay) of currents evoked by a step from -90 to 0 mV from 0.52 to 0.73 msec in wild-type Purkinje cells[1]. |
