Rotigaptide (Standard)

Rotigaptide (Standard) is the analytical standard of Rotigaptide. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Rotigaptide (ZP123) is a novel and specific modulator of connexin 43 (Cx43) . Rotigaptide prevents the uncoupling of Cx43-mediated gap junction communication and normalizes cell-to-cell communication during acute metabolic stress. Rotigaptide is a potent antiarrhythmic peptide (AAP) with improved stability and has the potential for the investigation of cardiac arrhythmias-specifically?atrial fibrillation[1][2].
