Our Bioassay
Origin Synthetic peptide
MW: 2207 Da
Purity: >98% (HPLC)
Effective concentration 0.5-3 µM.
Sequence ZNCCNGGCSSKWCRDHARCC.
Modifications Disulfide bonds between Cys3-Cys13, Cys4-Cys19, Cys8-Cys20. Z1 - Pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, Cys20 - Cysteine amide.
Structure
Molecular formula C83H123N33O27S6.
Activity µ-Conotoxin SIIIA blocks TTX-sensitive voltage-gated Na+ channels in small-diameter DRG neurons1,2. It also irreversibly blocks NaV1.2, NaV1.3 and NaV1.4 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes in a dose- and time-dependent manner3. No inhibition is detected on NaV1.5, NaV1.7 or NaV1.8 channels4,5.

Our bioassay
Alomone Labs µ-Conotoxin SIIIA inhibits NaV1.2 channels heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes.A. Time course of channel activity and inhibition in the presence of 1 µM µ-Conotoxin SIIIA (#STC-450) applied for 10 min (indicated as bar). Currents were elicited by application of voltage ramp from a holding potential of -80 mV to 0 mV in 100 msec, delivered every 10 seconds. B. Example of superimposed current traces before (black) and during (green) 1 µM application of µ-Conotoxin SIIIA.
Scientific background µ-Conotoxin SIIIA is a synthetic peptide purified to homogeneity, originally isolated from the Conus striatus venom1. µ-Conotoxin SIIIA reversibly blocks TTX-sensitive voltage-gated Na+ channels in small-diameter DRG neurons.1,2 It also irreversibly blocks NaV1.2, NaV1.3 and NaV1.4 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes in a dose- and time-dependent manner3. No inhibition is detected on NaV1.5, NaV1.7 or NaV1.8 channels4,5.
Target NaV1.2, NaV1.3, NaV1.4 Na+ channels
