L8444-100UG - PROTOXIN-III
(Syn. : ProTx-III, mu-theraphotoxin-Tp1a, mu-TRTX-Tp1a)
Product ID |
L8444-100UG |
Name |
PROTOXIN-III |
Molecular formula |
C162H246N52O43S6 |
Description |
A 33 amino-acids peptide with 3 disulfide bridges
, synthetic, initially isolated from the venom of the Peruvian green velvet tarantula Thrixopelma pruriens.
|
Biological activity |
ProTx-III (µ-TRTX-Tp1a) inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels without significantly altering the voltage dependence of activation or inactivation. The toxin preferentially inhibits hNav1.7/SCN9A (IC50=2.1 nM) > hNav1.6/SCN8A > hNav1.2/SCN2A > hNav1.1/SCN1A > hNav1.3/SCN3A channels in fluorescent assays. The toxin exhibits analgesic properties by reversing spontaneous pain induced in mice by intraplantar injection with OD1 (AC P84646), a scorpion toxin that potentiates hNav1.7/SCN9A. |
