The M-Channel Blocker Linopirdine Is an Agonist of the Capsaicin Receptor TRPV1
Abstract.: Linopirdine is a well known blocker of voltage-gated potassium channels from the Kv7 (or KCNQ) family that generate the so called M current in mammalian neurons. Kv7 subunits are also expressed in pain-sensing neurons in dorsal root ganglia, in which they modulate neuronal excitability. I...
