Biological Activity for DIDS

DIDS is a ClC-Ka chloride channel blocker (IC₅₀ = 100 μM). Blocks the maxi chloride channel in apical membranes from human placenta. Displays antagonistic activity at TRPM4 and TRPC4 channels; potentiates agonist-induced TRPV1 currents (IC₅₀ = 4.88 μM in rat DRG neurons). Inhibits RAD51 recombinase activity (K_D = 2 μM).
