Lyophilized Powder yes
  • Bioassay Tested
    • Origin Synthetic peptide
    MW: 3413 Da
    Purity: >98% (HPLC)
    Effective concentration 100-500 nM.
    Sequence DDCGKLFSGCDTNADCCEGYVCRLWCKLDW.
    Modifications Disulfide bonds between Cys3-Cys17, Cys10-Cys22, and Cys16-Cys26. Trp30 - C-terminal amidation.
    Structure
    Molecular formula C144H213N39O46S6.
    Activity Heteropodatoxin-2 is an inhibitor of voltage-gated K+ channels of the KV4 family. Inhibition of KV4.3 and KV4.2 is strongly voltage-dependent, while inhibition of KV4.1 shows less voltage-dependence. Lacks affinity for KV1.4, KV2.1 and KV3.41,2. Also blocks Ca2+ channels1.

      Alomone Labs Heteropodatoxin-2 inhibits KV4.2 channel currents expressed in Xenopus oocytes.
      Currents were elicited by application of voltage step from a holding potential of -100 mV to 0 mV in 100 msec, delivered every 10 seconds. A. Time course of channel activity (current amplitude at +0 mV), before (black) and during (green) application of 100 nM Heteropodatoxin-2 (#STH-340). B. Example of superimposed current traces before (black) and during (green) application of 100 nM Heteropodatoxin-2, taken from the experiment in A.

    Scientific background Heteropodatoxin-2 is a synthetic peptide purified to homogeneity, originally isolated from the Heteropoda venatoria spider venom1,2. Heteropodatoxin-2 is an inhibitor of voltage-gated K+ channels of the KV4 family. Inhibition of KV4.3 and KV4.2 is strongly voltage-dependent, while inhibition of KV4.1 shows less voltage-dependence. Heteropodatoxin-2 lacks affinity for KV1.4, KV2.1 and KV3.41,3. It also blocks Ca2+ channels1.
    Target KV4 K+ channels
