DCPIB
Based on 11 publication(s) in Google Scholar
DCPIB is a selective, reversible and potent inhibitor of volume-regulated anion channels (VRAC). DCPIB voltage-dependently activates potassium channels TREK1 and TRAAK, and inhibits TRESK, TASK1 and TASK3 (IC50s: 0.14, 0.95, 50.72 μM, respectively). DCPIB is also a selective blocker of swelling-induced chloride current (ICl,swell), with an IC50 of 4.1 μM. DCPIB is a useful tool for investigating structure-function studies of K2P channels.

IRF2BP2 protein abundance was visualized by immunoblotting in BMDMs isolated from Hspa5f/f or Hspa5f/f; Lyz2-Cre mice. These CHX-treated BMDMs were treated with/without ArA or DCPIB (DB) (100 μM; 9 h). The results showed that DB protected IRF2BP2 from degradation in a BiP-dependent manner.
