Description

Apamin is a peptide bee venom toxin that acts as an antagonist at K+ channels. Apamin inhibits small- and intermediate-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (SK2/3, IK) channels; it blocks the pore region, preventing K+ ion transport and lowering the threshold for action potential development. Apamin exhibits neuroprotective and cognition enhancing benefits, improving visiospatial learning deficits in animal models undergoing a water maze task in an in vivo model of neurofibromatosis 1.
