Application

Penitrem A has been used as Ca2+-Activated K+ (BK) channel blocker to study its effect on BK current in bag cell neurons.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Penitrem A intoxication causes ataxia, polypnea, and sustained tremors and may lead to seizures and death. Penitrem A affects the central and peripheral nervous system. It impairs the GABAergic neurotransmission in the cerebellum.
