3-Carboxypropanesulfonamide is a chemical compound that has been shown to have the ability to modulate cardiac cell function. This compound has been shown to be effective in a reaction monitoring technique, which monitors the functional groups and techniques of chemical reactions, in order to introduce this molecule into the cell membrane and alter its potential. 3-Carboxypropanesulfonamide is capable of changing the lipid composition of the membrane by introducing a linker group that can bind with other molecules such as cholesterol or phospholipids. This linker group alters the membrane potential of cells, leading to changes in ion flow and cellular response.
