product information
cat :
STP-100-B
SKU :
STP-100-B_0.1 mg
Product Name :
ProTx-II-Biotin
Group Type :
Non Antibodies
Product Type :
Proteins
Applications :
Electrophysiology, Western blot
Formulation :
Lyophilized from double distilled water (ddH2O). May contain TFA as a residual counter ion.
Storage After Reconstitution :
Store the reconstituted solution for the shortest time possible at -20°C. We do not recommend storing the product in working solution for longer than one day. 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 (5 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 :
ProTx-II is a peptidyl toxin originally produced in Thrixopelma pruriens, the Peruvian green velvet tarantula. It was identified as a voltage-gated Na+ channel (NaV) blocker which inhibits both tetrodotoxin-sensitive and tetrodotoxin-resistant channels1.Binding of ProTx-II to an extracellular domain of NaV channel, probably to a hydrophobic site3, inhibits current by shifting the channel activation to more positive potentials1-2.ProTx-II Inhibits NaV1.2, NaV1.3, NaV1.5, NaV1.6, NaV1.7, and NaV1.8. It is a significantly more potent inhibitor against NaV1.7 than the other NaV channel subtypes1.ProTx-II was also found as an effective modulator which shifts the voltage dependence activity of T-type Ca2+channel1.
Supplier :
