product information
cat :
STG-250
SKU :
STG-250_0.1 mg
Product Name :
GrTx1
Group Type :
Non Antibodies
Product Type :
Proteins
Accession :
P85117
Accession Number :
https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P85117/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 :
β-theraphotoxin-Gr1a (GrTx1) is a peptidyl toxin originally isolated from the venom of the ''rosean-tarantula'' (Grammostola rosea). GrTx1 has 29 amino-acid residues, compactly folded by three disulfide bridges with a molecular weight of 3697 Da. Sequence analysis reveals that GrTx1 is closely related to other spider toxins reported to affect various distinct ion channel functions1. The toxin inhibits NaV1.1 (IC50 = 0.63 μM), NaV1.2 (IC50= 0.23 μM), NaV1.3 (IC50 = 0.77 μM), NaV1.4 (IC50= 1.29 μM), NaV1.6 (IC50= 0.63 μM), NaV1.7 (IC50= 0.37 μM) and potassium channels KV11.1 (IC50 = 1.2 μM)2.
