Dendrotoxin K

Dendrotoxin K is a selective Kv1.1 potassium channel blocker. It modulates glutamate release from CA3 hippocampal neurons by altering the presynaptic action potential in a time-dependent manner. This toxin is a valuable tool for studying synaptic transmission, neuronal excitability, and channel function in both in vitro and in vivo neuroscience research.
