    Product Description

    KC159 is an agonist of Piezo1.1 It induces calcium influx in HEK cells overexpressing mouse Piezo1 (EC50 = 280 nM) and induces inward currents in a whole-cell patch-clamp assay using HEK cells overexpressing mouse Piezo1 when used at a concentration of 10 µM. KC159 induces smooth muscle relaxation in isolated and perfused mouse portal veins (EC50s = 1.14 µM).

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
