Application
Barium chloride dihydrate has been used:in patch-clamp electrophysiological studies to block subthreshold-activated potassium channelsas an inward rectifier potassium (Kir) channel blocker to study the role of the channel by measuring the microglial membrane currents in response to voltage ramp stimuli after ATP injectionto prepare the stock solution to make artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Barium chloride is a potassium ion channel blocker. It is considered toxic. Barium chloride prevents the D2-like receptor-mediated hyperpolarisation of spinal central pattern generator (CPG) neurons
