Kv7.2/Kv7.3 activator-3 (GRT-X) is an orally active Kv7.2/Kv7.3 and TSPO activator. Kv7.2/Kv7.3 activator-3 activates Kv7.2/Kv7.3, Kv7.4, and Kv7.5 with EC50 values of 0.37, 2.06, and 0.75 μM, respectively, and binds to TSPO with Ki values of 0.07 μM (rat membrane) and 4.60 μM (human U-118 MG cells). Kv7.2/Kv7.3 activator-3 prevents motor neuron degeneration in mice and humans conditioned by ALS/FTD astrocytes. Kv7.2/Kv7.3 activator-3 stimulates dorsal root ganglion axonal growth through TSPO and Kv7.2/3 activation. Kv7.2/Kv7.3 activator-3 has anti-epileptic effects in epileptic seizure models. Kv7.2/Kv7.3 activator-3 reduces pain hypersensitivity in patients with diabetic neuropathy, promotes neuronal survival and regeneration after cervical neuropathy in rats, and accelerates the recovery of normal function of sensory and motor neurons.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
