ω-Conotoxin MoVIA
Group Type :
Non Antibodies
Product Type :
Proteins
Accession :
A0A384E129
Accession Number :
https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/A0A384E129 /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 :
ω-Conotoxin MoVIA (MoVIA) is a 29 amino acid peptidyl toxin originally isolated from the venom of the western Pacific vermivorous (worm-hunting) cone snail, Conus moncuri. MoVIA is a specific and potent blocker of mammalian N-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (CaV2.2)1.MoVIA has an arginine at position 13 instead of a tyrosine, which has been previously shown to be functionally critical for the potent Cav2.2 inhibitor activity of ω-conotoxins including ω-Conotoxin MVIIA (#C-670) and ω-Conotoxin GVIA (#C-300) from piscivorous (fish-hunting) species1.CaV2.2 are predominantly expressed in nerve terminals and are involved in the regulation of neuronal excitability and nociceptive signaling. These channels are multifunctional and play important roles in the transduction of acute and chronic pain perception. They are able to transduce electrical activity into other cellular functions, regulate calcium homeostasis and process pain information. Since ω-conotoxins selectively inhibit Cav2.2 in nociceptors, they are considered attractive molecules for drug design2.
