gsmtx4

GsMTx-4, mechanosensitive and stretch-activated ion channel inhibitor (CAS 1209500-46-8).

GsMTx4 TFA (1209500-46-8 free base) (GsMTx4 TFA) is a spider venom peptide that selectively inhibits cationic permeable mechanically-sensitive channels (MSCs) belonging to the Piezo and TRP channel families.

TRPC1/6 and Piezo2 inhibitor. Exhibits same effect as L-enantiomer, GsMTx4 (Cat. No. 4912) on TRPC channels. Inhibits mechanosensitive currents by ~70%. Protects against myocardial infarction in mouse ischemia/reperfusion model. Resistant to proteolytic digestion.

D-GsMTx4 TFA, a selective spider venom peptide, is a TRPC1/6 and Piezo2 inhibitor that inhibits cation-permeable mechanosensitive channels (MSCs) belonging to the Piezo and TRP channel families, blocks cation-selective stretch-activated channels (SACs), and attenuates lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)-induced astrocyte toxicity and microglia reactivity. toxicity and microglia reactivity.D-GsMTx4 TFA prevented myocardial infarction in a mouse model of ischemia/reperfusion and can be used to characterize the role of excitatory MSCs in normal physiology and pathology.
