Description
Spadin, a natural peptide derived from a propeptide released in blood, is a potent TREK-1 channel blocker with IC50 value of 10 nM. Spadin enhances dorsal raphe nucleus 5-HT neurotransmission in mice and induces hippocampal CREB activation and neurogenesis. Spadin can be used for antidepressant research[1][2]
