![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Piezo1 | No small molecule or toxin binding sites are confirmed on the channel, although an interaction site for Yoda1 has been suggested. The evidence for selective activation is greatest for Yoda1 [1,4], but none of the activators is guaranteed to be selective and the selectivity achieved will likely depend on the concentration of the activator and the biological context in which it is administered. Yoda1 has low aqueous solubility, which may be a factor behind the range of pEC50s observed for it [2]. Analogues such as Yoda2 have better aqueous solubility. Yoda1, Yoda2, Yoda2b, Yaddle1 and Dooku1 are chemically related molecules (Yoda1 analogues). OB-1 is thought to inhibit the channels via stomatin like 3 (STOML3; Q8TAV4), with its effect taking up to 3 hours to occur [5]. |
