Company:

Tocris Bioscience

Product Name:

KN 93 phosphate

Catalog Number:

5215/1

CaMKII regulates cardiac ion channels contributing action potential. To understand this process in detail we use KN93, a CaMKII inhibitor, and KN92, an inactive homolog of KN93.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Cell culture

Starting Material

Guinea pig ventricular cardiomyocytes

Protocol Overview

Guinea pig ventricular cardiomyocytes were incubated with KN93 phosphate (5 µM, 30 min) prior to HOCl-LDL (250 µg/ml, 14 h) addition followed by loading of cells with Fura-2AM.

Results Summary

Cells were stimulated at a 1 Hz frequency and Ca2+ transient (CaT) amplitude was analyzed. KN93 phosphate significantly inhibited HOCl-LDL-reduced CaT amplitude
