Design and development of selective competitive fluorescent ligands for the detection and visualization of Kv7.2/7.3 in vitro†
Abstract
A series of specific and potent fluorescent ligands were developed for labelling and visualizing Kv7.2/7.3 based molecular rotation restriction. Probes 21b and 24a were found to be safe and convenient tools to detect and visualize Kv7.2/7.3 in live cells and mouse brain tissue.
