Apamin

Apamin (CPC catalog code APAM-001) is a synthetic ion-channel toxin (research reagent) in the ion channel toxins category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

Published and internal research programs use Apamin as a reference standard in ion channel toxins workflows — for example, patch-clamp characterization of channel subtypes and neuronal excitability and pain-circuit research. Human clinical evidence is not established.

No. Apamin is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.

In a ion channel toxins workflow, Apamin is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Manual or automated patch clamp (QPatch, Patchliner) and radioligand binding are the standard readouts.

Toxins are extremely potent. Handle with appropriate PPE. Store lyophilized at −20 °C; keep reconstituted stocks in silanized tubes to prevent adsorption. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.

This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for APAM-001. The upstream reference sheet — including sequence, purity, MW, and application notes where published — is linked from the buy panel. All orders placed on kindr Peptides ship internationally under research-use terms only.

Research-grade peptides in the CPC catalog are synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), purified by preparative RP-HPLC, and characterized by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometry. Typical purity is ≥95%; certificate of analysis is available on request.
