Alomone Labs ?-Conotoxin CVIB blocks CaV2.2 currents heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes. - A. Time course of ?-Conotoxin CVIB (#STC-410) action on CaV2.2 maximum current amplitude. Current amplitudes were plotted as a function of time. Membrane potential was held at -100 mV and oocytes were stimulated by a 100 ms voltage ramp to +50 mV in 2 mM Ba2+. 10 nM ?-Conotoxin CVIB were perfused as indicated by the bar (green) for 5 min. B. Superimposed examples of CaV2.2 channel maximum peak current in the absence (control) and presence (green) of 10 nM ?-Conotoxin CVIB (taken from the experiment in A).

Product Name :

ω-Conotoxin CVIB

Group Type :

Non Antibodies

Product Type :

Proteins

Accession :

P58918

Accession Number :

https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P58918/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 CVIB is a peptide toxin originally isolated from the cat cone (Conus Catus). It is a blocker of voltage-gated N-,P- and Q-type CaV channels. CVIB has an effective concentration of 1-10 nM with an IC50 of 7.7 nM for N-type channels and 11 nM for P- and Q-type channels. Compared to other ω-conotoxins, CVIB is a fairly poor inhibitor of N-type channels and only a moderate inhibitor of P- and Q-type channels. Cloning and sequencing of mRNA transcripts from the venom ducts of the sea-snail failed to isolate CVIB's mRNA transcript thus suggesting that this ω-conotoxin is not found abundantly in the Conus Catus species and may be found in other species of the cone snail family1.
