Product Information

• Name: Tampramine fumarate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tampramine is a ligand for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. It has been used as a research tool to study the function of ion channels, and as a pharmacological agent for the treatment of epilepsy. Tampramine binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and blocks its activation by acetylcholine or nicotine. Tampramine also inhibits the binding of other ligands, such as atropine, to their receptors. Tampramine is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes which are involved in signal transduction pathways that regulate cellular processes including cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. PDEs hydrolyze cyclic nucleotides, such as cAMP and cGMP, which are important second messengers in intracellular signaling cascades.
