Electrophysiology

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

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.

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.

α-conotoxin RgIA (RgIA) is a 13 amino acid peptidyl toxin cloned from a genomic DNA library of the marine worm-hunting sea snail, Conus regius1. RgIA belongs to the α4/3 subfamily of conotoxins (i.e., a family of peptides with four amino acids in the first loop and three in the second loop) and is a potent and selective antagonist of the α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtype, which also shows a weak activity towards α7 nAChR1,2. RgIA was also shown to inhibit high-voltage-activated (HVA) calcium channel currents in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons3.The nAChRs are acetylcholine-gated ion channels. Given the important physiological roles of nAChRs in pain, inflammation, nicotine addiction, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease, specific targeting of the relevant nAChR subtypes is an attractive pharmaceutical strategy. α-conotoxins are among the most promising drug development leads for treating these diseases4,5. RgIA was shown to be an effective analgesic agent in a rat model of nerve injury and also reduced the immune response contributing to peripheral nerve damage6,7. Furthermore, RgIA was shown to prevent neuropathic pain induced by oxaliplatin treatment8.
