Alomone Labs ?-Dendrotoxin inhibits cloned KV1.1 and KV1.2 channel currents heterologously expressed inXenopusoocytes. - KV1.1 (left in 2 mM K+) and KV1.2 (right in 5 mM K+) channels currents elicited by 200 ms depolarization from holding potential of -100 mV to +20 mV before and during application of 100 nM?-Dendrotoxin(#D-370). 80% (n = 4) of the KV1.1 and 21% (n = 4) of the KV1.2 channels were inhibited by 100 nM ?-Dendrotoxin respectively.

A. LINGO-1 staining (red) is detected in sections of rat substantia nigra in nigral neurons (arrows). B. Staining of rat spinal cord shows LINGO-1 labeling in ventral horn neurons (arrows). Cell nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue).

product information

cat :

D-370

SKU :

D-370_70 mcg

Product Name :

β-Dendrotoxin

Group Type :

Non Antibodies

Product Type :

Proteins

Applications :

Electrophysiology

Formulation :

Lyophilized from double distilled water (ddH2O). May contain TFA as a residual counter ion.

Storage After Reconstitution :

The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4°C for up to 1 week. For longer periods (up to 6 months), small aliquots should be stored at -20°C. We do not recommend storing the product in working solutions for longer than a few days. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Reconstitution and Solubility :

Centrifuge the vial (10,000 × g for 5 minutes) before adding solvent to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Gently tap, tilt, and roll the vial to aid dissolution. Avoid vigorous vortexing; light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain biological activity.
