4α-Phorbol 12,13-didecanoate is a phorbol ester research reagent used as a selective activator of the TRPV4 ion channel. It is employed to study TRPV4-mediated calcium influx, osmoregulatory responses, and related signaling pathways, and is supplied in small, high-purity laboratory quantities.
- Selective TRPV4 agonist for calcium influx studies
- High purity, typically 99.3%
- Supplied in small laboratory quantities suitable for in vitro research (for example, 1 mg)
- Applicable to studies of osmoregulation and membrane transporter signaling
