Na+ channel activator
A Na+ channel activator. Does not affect Na+-Ca2+ exchange. Veratridine acts at neurotoxin receptor site 2 and preferentially binds to activated Na+ channels causing persistent activation. It prevents inactivation and shifts activation to more negative potentials. Induces cell death in bovine chromaffin cells.
