Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is an established potent and selective blocker of some Nav channels. Moreover, TTX sensitivity is used to define subclasses of Nav channels. It is widely used both to probe Nav activity and to reduce or block excitability in neurophysiological preparations.
Doron scientific is pleased to offer Tetrodotoxin isolated from Tetraodon pardalis.
