Hyperpolarization- and Cyclic Nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels are a family of six transmembrane domain, single pore-loop, hyperpolarization activated, non-selective cation channels. The HCN family consists of four members (HCN1-4). HCN channels represent the molecular correlates of I(h), a hyperpolarization-activated current best known for its role in controlling heart rate and in the regulation of neuronal resting membrane potential and excitability.

HCN channels are unique among vertebrate voltage-gated ion channels, in that they have a reverse voltage-dependence that leads to activation upon hyperpolarization. HCN channels are encoded by four genes (HCN1-4) and are widely expressed throughout the heart and the central nervous system.

    Ivabradine hydrochloride (Standard)
    		Inhibitor
    Ivabradine (hydrochloride) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Ivabradine (hydrochloride). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Ivabradine hydrochloride is a potent and orally active HCN (hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated) channel blocker that inhibits the cardiac pacemaker current (If). Ivabradine hydrochloride reduces dose-dependently heart rate without modification of blood pressure. Ivabradine hydrochloride shows anticonvulsant, anti-ischaemic and anti-anginal activity.

  • HY-137639
    Sp-8-Br-cGMPS
    		Agonist
    Sp-8-Br-cGMPS is an analog of cGMP. Sp-8-Br-cGMPS is an agonist for cGMP-gated cation channels (CNG channels), with an EC50 of 106.5 μM. Sp-8-Br-cGMPS induces the currents, without the ability to stabilize the channel open state as a full agonist.

  • HY-137016
    8-Pcpt-cGMP
    		Agonist
    8-Pcpt-cGMP is an agonist for cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel with an EC50 of 0.5 μM. 8-Pcpt-cGMP exhibits good membrane permeability. 8-Pcpt-cGMP can be used in studies about the function of CNG channels in visual signal transduction and olfactory transduction.

    Rp-8-Br-cGMPS
    		Activator
    Rp-8-Br-cGMPS (Rp-8-bromo-Cyclic GMPS) sodium salt is a potent Ca2+-ATPase activator. Rp-8-Br-cGMPS is also an agonist of the rod CNG channel and an inhibitor of PKG. Rp-8-Br-cGMPS sodium salt mediates cytosolic Ca2+ reduction by activating Ca2+-ATPase and subsequently removing Ca2+ from the cell.
