A23187 (MIXED CALCIUM-MAGNESIUM SALT) Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Calcium Ionophore A23187 mixed calcium magnesium salt has been used as a calcium ionophore to increase the intracellular levels of calcium.
Ionophore highly selective for Ca²⁺. Potentiates responses to NMDA but not to quisqualate. In cell culture, stimulates nitric oxide production by calmodulin-dependent constitutive nitric oxide synthase.

Biological Activity

Cell permeable: no', 'Primary Target
Useful in cell activation experiments when calcium dose-response data are not required', 'Product does not compete with ATP.', 'Reversible: no
