Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A specific amino acid sequence proximal to the carboxy terminus of P/Q type ion channels has been shown to mediate through binding to the Homer protein, the expression of the gene encoding syntaxin-1A. This region of the P/Q type calcium ion channel provides peptides that can be used in screening assays for compounds that modulate the central nervous system.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 13, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 13, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 13, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
