Xestospongin C is recognized for its role as a potent inhibitor of inositol triphosphate (IP3) receptors, which are intracellular channels responsible for the release of calcium ions from storage within cells. It used as a biological tool to study calcium signaling pathways, providing insights into the mechanisms by which cells regulate calcium levels and the effects of calcium dysregulation. Xestospongin C is used in the field of neurobiology, where understanding calcium homeostasis is for exploring neuronal function and communication.
