Hyperpolarization Modulation of the T‐Type hCav3.2 Channel by Human Synenkephalin [1–53], a Shrew Neurotoxin Analogue without Paralytic Effects

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 27, July 1, 2025.
Human synenkephalin [1–53] (hSYN), an analogue peptide of shrew saliva neurotoxins, was synthesized and its structural characteristics studied.
