Product Information

• Name: Nocistatin (human)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Nocistatin is a protein that belongs to the group of peptides. It is a ligand for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are present in the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as in muscle cells. The binding of nocistatin to its receptor leads to an increase in the opening of ion channels, resulting in an influx of sodium ions into the cell and an efflux of potassium ions. This causes depolarization and increased excitability. Nocistatin has been shown to inhibit the activity of various ion channels, including voltage-gated sodium channels, calcium channels, and potassium channels.
