Our bioassay
Alomone Labs Noxiustoxin inhibits KV1.3 channels heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes.Left: Time course of KV1.3 current amplitude in response to test pulses of 100 ms to 0 mV from a holding potential of -100 mV. 200 nM Noxiustoxin (#STN-340) was perfused at the period marked by the horizontal bar. Right: Traces of KV1.3 currents before (red) and during (black) application of Noxiustoxin.
Scientific background Noxiustoxin was originally isolated from the venom of the scorpion Centruroides noxius Hoffmann1 and was shown to interact and inhibit KV1.2 and KV1.3 K+ channels.2 The toxin blocks KV1.3 (recorded using patch clamp in Jurkat cells) with Kd of 6 nM.3 It was shown to bind synaptosomal membranes4 and to increase transmitter release.5 In addition, it was shown to block K+ channels in lymphocytes.6
Target KV1.2, KV1.3 K+ channels
