Scientific Background | Veratridine is a steroid-derived alkaloid that functions as a neurotoxin by persistently activating voltage-gated sodium channels. It binds to intramembrane receptor site 2, leading to prolonged sodium influx and increased intracellular calcium levels. This compound is commonly used in neuroscience to model excitotoxicity and investigate calcium-dependent signaling pathways, neuronal excitability, and neurodegenerative processes. |
