APPLICATION
Na+/Ca2+交換機構 (NCX) の阻害剤
This compound (often called KB-R7943) is an inhibitor of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX). The NCX system plays a pivotal role in regulating intracellular Ca2+ concentration in cardiomyocytes, neuronal cells, kidney and a variety of other cells. NCX system performs a particularly important function in regulating cardiac contractility and electric activity. KB-R9743 appears to exhibit selectivity for Ca2+-influx-mode NCX activity (reverse mode of NCX).
