• Description: Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-AMC is a peptide that is used as a research tool to activate ion channels in cells and study the effects of ligands on these channels. It is also used in cell biology to study protein interactions, although it does not bind to any specific receptor. Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-AMC belongs to the group of inhibitors and can be used for pharmacological purposes. The chemical structure of this peptide consists of a covalent bond between an amino acid and an acetylated form of a fluorescent molecule, which makes it suitable for use in fluorescence microscopy. Acetylated Tyr (Ac-Tyr) is one of the six amino acids found in proteins and has the ability to inhibit the activity of ion channels by binding to their external cavity. Acetylation at position 2 or 3 on Tyr can increase its affinity for calcium ion channels and affect their activation or de
