Our bioassay
Alomone Labs Muscarinic Toxin 3 inhibits Muscarinic Receptor 4 expressed in CHO-K1 cells.CHO-K1 cells were co-transfected with human M4 and Gα15 in order to couple the M4 receptor to the Ca2+ signaling pathway. Ca2+ concentrations were monitored using FLIPR. Cells were first incubated in the presence of different concentrations of Muscarinic Toxin 3 (#M-140) followed by Oxotremorine. The percentage of M4 receptor inhibition was plotted versus different concentrations of Muscarinic Toxin 3. The IC50 value of Muscarinic Toxin 3 was between 100 to 1000 nM.
Scientific background Muscarinic toxins are isolated from the venom of the mamba species and are composed of 65 to 66 amino acid residues with four intramolecular disulfide bridges. One of these is muscarinic toxin 3 (MT-3) which was isolated from the green mamba (Dendroaspis augusticeps) and is composed of 65 amino acid residues1. A recent study investigated the interaction of MT3 with cloned receptors (mAChRs and adrenoceptors) expressed in insect cells by radioligand binding. MT3 appears to have a broad spectrum of targets showing high-affinity binding (IC50 = 1-10 nM) to M4 mAChR, α1A-, α1D- and α2A-adrenoceptors and lower affinity binding (IC50 > 25 nM) to α1B- and α2C-adrenoceptors and M1 mAChR2.
Target M1, M4 muscarinic receptors, adrenoceptors
