Gene Information
General description
Picrotoxin is isolated from moonseed family, Menispermaceae. It is a stimulant and may cause convulsions. It is an allosteric modulator of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptor.
Application
Picrotoxin has been used:
- as non-competitive antagonist for the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) for studying synchronized burst (SB) dynamics
- as a component of extracellular saline for blocking glutamate and acetylcholine receptors in neurons
- as a component of artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) for voltage-clamp recordings studies in dissociated cortical neurons
Biochem/physiol Actions
Picrotoxin is a competitive inhibitor of glycine receptors (GlyRs). It is a non-competitive antagonist, which binds to ligand bounded γ-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptor.
GABAA receptor antagonist; binds to the GABA receptor-linked Cl− channel.
