Alomone Labs?-Conotoxin FVIA inhibits CaV2.2 channel expressed inXenopusoocytes. - A. Time course of?-Conotoxin FVIA(#STC-780) action on CaV2.2 (?1B + ?2?1 + ?1 subunits) maximum peak current amplitude. Peak 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 elicited in 2 mM Ba2+. 50 nM ?-Conotoxin FVIA was 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 50 nM ?-Conotoxin FVIA (taken from the experiment in A).

cat :
STC-780
SKU :
STC-780_0.1 mg
Product Name :
ω-Conotoxin FVIA
Group Type :
Non Antibodies
Product Type :
Proteins
Accession :
P0DW83
Accession Number :
https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P0DW83/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-Conotoxins are disulfide-rich peptides comprised of 24-31 amino acids, isolated from the venom of marine predatory cone snails. They have a high content of basic amino acid residue and common cysteine scaffold that stabilizes the four-loop framework1,2.ω-Conotoxin FVIA is originally isolated from Conus Fulmen. It is a selective, potent and reversible voltage-gated N-Type Ca2+ (CaV2.2) channel blocker that preferentially blocks nociception in inflammatory pain models, and allodynia and hyperalgesia in neuropathic pain models1,2. Studies have shown that ω-Conotoxin FVIA demonstrates analgesic potency and greater reversibility for the treatment of refractory pain and low side effects1.Voltage-gated N-Type Ca2+ channels are predominantly expressed in nerve terminals and are involved in the regulation of neuronal excitability and nociceptive signals. They are able to transduce electrical activity into other cellular functions and regulate calcium homeostasis2.
