    Product Description

    Yoda2 is an agonist of Piezo1.1 It induces calcium influx in HEK cells overexpressing mouse Piezo1 (EC50 = 150 nM). Yoda2 is selective for Piezo1 over 30 other ion channels and receptors at 5 µM. It induces smooth muscle relaxation in isolated and perfused mouse portal veins (EC50 = 1.2 µM). Yoda2 (5 µmol/kg) increases cortical area and thickness at 15 and 37% of the tibial bone length in combination with loading in 22-month-old female mice in a model of aging-induced loss of bone adaptation.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
