OB-2 is a novel inhibitor of stomatin-like protein-3 (STOML3) oligomerization that reversibly reduce the sensitivity of mechanically gated currents in sensory neurons and silence mechanoreceptors in vivo.
Uses
OB-2 is a STOML3 oligomerization blocker. OB-2 reverses pathological mechanical hypersensitivity. OB-2 can be used for research of painful diabetic neuropathy in mice[1].
