- Frog poison. Batrachotoxin (BTX) is a steroidal alkaloid from the skin of Phyllobates terribilis, a poisonous Colombian frog (the source of the poison used on blowgun darts). In the presence of BTX, Na+Na* channels in an excised patch stay persistently open when the membrane is depolarized. They close when the membrane is repolarized. Which transition is blocked by BTX?arrow_forward01 M Inbox (449) - krys. Start Later, Sleep. 8 Amazing Benefit... /SC The drug Ouabain inhibits the function of the sodium-potassium pump.

- Dear Expert. Thank you for your advice, which is good and helpful. I note that your answer is "when 3 binding sites have been occupied the activity of these receptors is maximum." However, I also note that for a similar question (see below) on α7 nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (nAChR) also gives the same answer, ie. at least 3 agonist binding sites should be occupied. Another Question - "To maximize the activity of an α7 nAChR, how many agonist binding sites should be occupied." I understand that in α7 nAChR, binding to two sites is more effective and binding to three sites is most effective for activation. On the other hand, binding to four or five sites in the nAChRs of chromosome 7 speeds up desensitization more than activation. Therefore, to maximize the activity of an α7 nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (nAChR) is also "3 sites". Am I right?arrow_forwardIn he or sti ne eti 39.
