Product Name :
Jingzhaotoxin-X
Group Type :
Non Antibodies
Product Type :
Proteins
Accession :
P0CH55
Accession Number :
https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P0CH55/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 :
Jingzhaotoxin-X (JZTX-X) is a 31 amino acid peptidyl toxin originally isolated from the venom of the Chinese earth tiger tarantula, Chilobrachys guangxiensis 1,2. JZTX-X is a selective blocker of voltage-gated potassium (Kv)4.2 and Kv4.3 channels2.Kv channels play key roles in human physiology and pathophysiology. Among the various Kv channels, the Shal-type (Kv4) family is characterized by rapid inactivation and activation, expressing the transient potassium currents within the heart, nervous system, and a subpopulation of smooth muscle cells3. Kv4.2 channel has been identified as a potent factor contributing to the A-type currents within the dorsal horn neurons, and reside at a crucial position for regulating pain processing. Kv4.3 channels are detected within the soma of a neuronal subset of the non-peptidergic nociceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG), which plays a critical role in the regulation of neuron excitability. Down-regulation of the Kv4.3 channel in pain-sensing neurons can boost pain sensation. JZTX-X toxin was shown to induce long-lasting mechanical hyperalgesia in an animal model2.
