Description

Non-selective CaV2.1 and 2.2 blocker; also blocks TRPV channels

View all Cav2.x Channel Blockers »

Product Description

Ruthenium Red blocks Ca2+ uptake and release from mitochondria, and Ca2+ release from ryanodine-sensitive intracellular stores. Also blocks cell membrane-located capsaicin-activated cation channels (IC50 = 14 nM) and voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels to inhibit neurotransmitter release.
