Alomone Labs Guangxitoxin-1E inhibits KV2.1 channel currents expressed inXenopusoocytes. - Currents were elicited by application of voltage ramp from a holding potential of -80 mV to 60 mV in 100 msec delivered every 10 seconds. A. Time course of channel activity (current amplitude at +40 mV) before (black) and during (green) application of 100 nMGuangxitoxin-1E(#STG-200). B. Top illustration of the voltage ramp protocol. Bottom example of superimposed current traces before (black) and during (green) application of 100 nM Guangxitoxin-1E taken from the experiment in A.
product information
cat :
STG-200
SKU :
STG-200_0.1 mg
Product Name :
Guangxitoxin-1E
Group Type :
Non Antibodies
Product Type :
Proteins
Accession :
P84835
Accession Number :
https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P84835/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 :
Guangxitoxin-1E is a 36 amino acid peptidyl toxin isolated from the Chilobrachys jingzhao (Chinese earth tiger) tarantula venom and belongs to the huwentoxin-1 family. Guangxitoxin-1E is a gating modifier of KV2.1 (KCNB1, IC50 of 1 nM), KV2.2 (KCNB2, IC50 of 3 nM) and KV4.3 (KCND3, IC50 of 50 nM) channels1. In pancreatic β cells, it enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by broadening the cell action potential and enhancing calcium oscillations1,2. The physiological modulation of KV2.1 channels during glucose-induced insulin secretion is MgATP-mediated3,4. No significant effect was found on KV1.2 (KCNA2), KV1.3 (KCNA3), KV1.5 (KCNA5), KV3.2 (KCNC2), CaV1.2 (CACNA1C), CaV2.2 (CACNA1B), NaV1.5 (SCN5A), NaV1.7 (SCN9A) or NaV1.8 (SCN10A) channels1,2.
