Product Information

• Name: Digitoxose 1,3,4-triacetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Digitoxose 1,3,4-triacetate is a ligand that binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, activating it. It is used as a research tool to study the ion channels and protein interactions in cell biology. The binding of digitoxose 1,3,4-triacetate to the ligand-binding domain of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activates the receptor by inducing conformational changes in its transmembrane region. This activation leads to an increase in intracellular calcium levels and neurotransmitter release.
