Group Type :
Non Antibodies
Product Type :
Proteins
Accession :
A0A7M4DUE8
Accession Number :
https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/A0A7M4DUE8 /entry
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.

Product Page - Scientific background :
µ-conotoxin SxIIIC (SxIIIC) is a 22 amino acid peptidyl toxin originally isolated from the venom of the cone snail, Conus striolatus1. SxIIIC is a potent and irreversible blocker of voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels, which displays a unique µ-conotoxin selectivity profile of human (h)NaV1.4 > hNaV1.3 > hNaV1.1≈ hNaV1.6≈ hNaV1.7 > hNaV1.2 >> hNaV1.5≈ hNaV1.81.Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are transmembrane proteins that control the voltage-dependent increase in sodium permeability. VGSCs play a fundamental role in normal neurological function, especially in the initiation and propagation of action potentials. Nav channels have been the topic of significant research and discussion for a considerable amount of time given their unique functions in electrical cell signaling. These channels are very important for homeostasis, thus specific genetic abnormalities in VGSC genes can result in a range of muscle, cardiac, and neurological disorders known as "channelopathies"2. Marine toxins appear to be an emerging source of therapeutic tools that can relieve pain or treat VGSC-related human channelopathies3.
