Apamin Does Not Inhibit Human Cardiac Na(+) Current, L-type Ca(2+) Current or Other Major K(+) Currents

BACKGROUND: Apamin is commonly used as a small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (SK) current inhibitor. However, the specificity of apamin in cardiac tissues remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that apamin does not inhibit any major cardiac ion currents. METHODS: We studied human emb...
