Hyperpolarization- and Cyclic Nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels are a family of six transmembrane domain, single pore-loop, hyperpolarization activated, non-selective cation channels. The HCN family consists of four members (HCN1-4). HCN channels represent the molecular correlates of I(h), a hyperpolarization-activated current best known for its role in controlling heart rate and in the regulation of neuronal resting membrane potential and excitability.

HCN channels are unique among vertebrate voltage-gated ion channels, in that they have a reverse voltage-dependence that leads to activation upon hyperpolarization. HCN channels are encoded by four genes (HCN1-4) and are widely expressed throughout the heart and the central nervous system.

    VUANT1
    		Antagonist
    VUANT1 (VU0183254) is an allosteric antagonist of insect odorant receptor ion channels, which has the activity of inhibiting insect odorant receptor signaling. VUANT1 can inhibit the activation of insect odorant receptors through allosteric regulation, which is important for the study of the molecular mechanism of insect olfactory signaling. Although it may be of limited use in insect control programs, it can be used as a pharmacological tool to study related mechanisms.
