product information
cat :
STJ-400
SKU :
STJ-400_0.1 mg
Product Name :
Jingzhaotoxin XI
Group Type :
Non Antibodies
Product Type :
Proteins
Accession :
P0C247
Accession Number :
https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P0C247/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 XI (JzTx-XI) is a 34-residue peptide toxin originally isolated from the Chinese tarantula Chilobrachys jingzhao venoM Jingzhaotoxin XI toxin can potently inhibit both voltage-gated Na+ channel NaV1.5 with an IC50 value of 124 ± 26 nM and voltage-gated K+ channel KV2.1 with an IC50 value of 390 ± 60 nM1,2,3.The mature toxin contains six cysteine residues linked through disulfide bridges and a hydrophobic patch surrounded by charged residues such as Arg or Lys. Jingzhaotoxin XI is a useful tool for investigating the promiscuity of spider toxins2.JzTx-XI has confirmed activity at ion channels known to be important for pancreatic beta-cell function and insulin signaling, such as the delayed potassium rectifier channel (Kv2.1) and the voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV). The peptide is believed to adopt a characteristic inhibitor cysteine knot (ICK) structure as a result of the six cysteine residues present, which is considered to provide effective resistance against circulating enzymatic breakdown and increase therapeutic utility. JzTx-XI has been shown to increase intracellular calcium influx in beta-cells, although less effectively than Jingzhaotoxin IX (#STJ-300), without directly inducing beta-cell depolarization, as well as protect against cytokine-induced beta-cell apoptosis. Jingzhaotoxin XI has also been shown to augment exenatide-induced appetite suppressive actions and enhance the ability of exenatide to curb appetite in overnight fasted mice4.KV2.1 channels play an important role in neuronal systems including the neural retina. The channel's functions include regulation of neuronal excitability and neural transmitter release5.NaV1.5 channels are important in generating and propagating action potentials in excitable cells, in working myocardium and cardiac tissue conduction cells6.
