Electrophysiology

Lyophilized from double distilled water (ddH2O). May contain TFA as a residual counter ion.

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.

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.

The product is shipped as a lyophilized powder at room temperature. Upon receipt, store the product at -20°C. Protect from moisture.

Stichodactyla helianthus (Sun anemone) (Stoichactis helianthus)

Synthetic peptide

KCNA3

ShK-235 is a synthetic analog of ShK (Stichodactyla Toxin) (#STS-400), a native 35 amino acid peptidyl toxin originally isolated from the nematocyst of the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus1. Native ShK blocks the voltage-gated potassium (KV)1.3, KV1.1, KV1.4, and KV1.6 at subnanomolar concentrations2. Its synthetic analog, ShK-235, is a highly specific KV1.3 blocker with picomolar affinity and exhibited greater than 2250-fold selectivity for KV1.3 over KV1.1 and with very little block of other important KV subtypes (KV1.4 and KV1.6)3.Kv channels play key roles in human physiology and pathology. The Kv1.3 channel in T lymphocytes is a validated therapeutic target for diverse autoimmune diseases4. This channel maintains the membrane potential of a sub-set of T lymphocytes known as effector memory (TEM) T cells, that mediate and play a major role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), type 1 diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and psoriasis5,6.
