product information
cat :
STC-420
SKU :
STC-420_0.1 mg
Product Name :
ω-Conotoxin CVIC
Group Type :
Non Antibodies
Product Type :
Proteins
Accession :
P58919
Accession Number :
https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P58919/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 CVIC 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. CVIC has an effective concentration of 10-50 nM with an IC50 of 7.6 nM for N-type channels and 31 nM for P- and Q-type channels. Compared to other ω-conotoxins, CVIC 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 CVIC'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.
