L8513-500UG - CONOTOXIN BuIA (alpha-)
Product ID |
L8513-500UG |
Name |
CONOTOXIN BuIA (alpha-) |
Molecular formula |
C54H82N14O16S4 |
Description |
A 13 amino-acids peptide with 2 disulfide bridges
, synthetic, initially isolated from the venom of the Bubble cone snail Conus bullatus.
|
Biological activity |
α-Conotoxin BuIA potently blocks numerous mammalian nAChR subtypes: alpha-6/alpha-3-beta-2 (CHRNA6/CHRNA3-CHRNB2) (IC50=0.258 nM) > alpha-6/alpha-3-beta-4 (CHRNA6/CHRNA3-CHRNB4) (IC50=1.54 nM) > alpha-3-beta-2 (CHRNA3-CHRNB2) (IC50=5.72 nM) > alpha-3-beta-4 (CHRNA3-CHRNB4)(IC50=27.7 nM) > alpha-4-beta-4 (CHRNA4-CHRNB4) (IC50=69.9 nM) > alpha-2-beta-4 (CHRNA2-CHRNB4) (IC50=121 nM) > alpha-7 (CHRNA7) (IC50=272 nM) > alpha-2-beta-2 (CHRNA2-CHRNB2) (IC50=800 nM). Recovery from toxin block is markedly slower for beta-4 versus beta-2 subunit-containing nAChRs. This toxin represents a novel probe for distinguishing between beta-2 and beta-4 subunit-containing nAChRs. |
