L8433-100UG - HUWENTOXIN-I
(Syn. : HwTx-I, mu/omega-theraphotoxin-Hs1a, mu/omega-TRTX-Hs1a)
Product ID |
L8433-100UG |
Name |
HUWENTOXIN-I |
Molecular formula |
C161H246N48O44S6 |
Description |
A 33 amino-acids peptide with 3 disulfide bridges
, synthetic, initially isolated from the venom of the Chinese gold earth tiger spider Ornithoctonus huwena, also known as Cyriopagopus schmidti, Haplopelma schmidti, Haplopelma huwenum.
|
Biological activity |
An inhibitor of tetrodotoxin-sensitive voltage-gated sodium channels (TTX-S) (IC50 ~ 50 nM) and N-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels (IC50 ~ 100 nM) in mammalian DRG, hippocampus and insect's DUM neurons. It has only a very weak effect on L-type calcium channels, no effect on TTX-R channels and virtually no effect on muscle sodium channels. Huwentoxin-I showed an antinociceptive effect in rat. |
