Descrição

Application

Apamin has been used:

• As a selective inhibitor of small conductance (SKCa) channels in HEK cells.[1]
• To inhibit endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDHF) mediated responses.[2]
• To block small-conductance Ca²⁺-activated K⁺current (/SK) in electrophysiological studies in hyperstriatum ventrale, pars caudalis (HVc) neurons.[3]
• as a standard for determination of content and compositions of bee venom by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Apamin exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and antifibrotic properties. These properties aid in various biological processes such as vascular smooth muscle cell migration, biliary fibrosis and activation of hepatic stellate cells, TNFα/interferon (IFN)γ-induced keratinocytes, and macrophage activation. It also inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammatory responses by modulating multiple molecular targets involved in the inflammatory response, including calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs)/ extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)pathways.[5]

Apamin is a neurotoxin[6] and is cytotoxic to erythrocytes. Exposure to apamin leads to hypermotility and convulsions.[7]

The only polypeptide neurotoxin that is known to pass the blood-brain barrier. Blocks ATP-type Ca⁺²-activated K⁺ channels.

General description

Research area: neuroscience
Apamin is a bee venom component and is strongly basic in nature.[7] It has 18 amino acid residues and two disulphide bonds.[6]
