(Syn. : Alpha-BTX A31, Alpha-Bgt(A31))
Product ID |
L8115-1MG |
Name |
BUNGAROTOXIN (alpha-) |
Molecular formula |
C338H539N97O105S11 |
Description |
A 74 amino-acids polypeptide with 5 disulfide bridges
, natural, purified from Bungarus multicinctus snake venom.
|
Biological activity |
Binds with high affinity to muscular (alpha-1/CHRNA1) and neuronal (alpha-7/CHRNA7) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and inhibits acetylcholine from binding to the receptor, thereby impairing neuromuscular and neuronal transmission. Blocks the extracellular increase of dopamine evoked by nicotine only at the higher dose (4.2 µM). |
