Apamin is an 18-amino acid peptide toxin that has been found in honey bee (A. mellifera) venom.{27794,58879} It is an inhibitor of small conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa2.2/SK2) channels (IC50s = 0.06-0.4 nM).{27794} It is selective for KCa2.2/SK2 channels over KCa2.1/SK1 and KCa2.3/SK3 channels (IC50s = 1-12 and 1-13 nM, respectively), as well as the intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel KCa3.1/SK4 at 1 µM but does inhibit voltage-gated potassium channel 1.3 (Kv1.3; IC50 = 13 nM).{27792,27794,58880} Apamin (50 µg/kg) reduces CD8+ cell infiltration into the CNS and the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), as well as increased peripheral blood levels of CD62L-, CD44L-, and CD44+ memory T cells in mice.{58881} It has commonly been used to determine the role of KCa/SK channels in the brain, vascular endothelium, and bladder.{27791,27789,58882,58879}

Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
