Scientific Background | Tetrodotoxin is a potent, selective, and reversible use-dependent inhibitor of voltage-gated sodium channels. Its ability to block neuronal action potentials makes it a valuable tool in neuroscience research, particularly for studying neuronal excitability, pain pathways, and ion channel function. Tetrodotoxin is frequently used in electrophysiological experiments to isolate specific neural responses and investigate the role of sodium channels in neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and epilepsy. |
