ProTx-III

• UNSPSC Description:

  ProTx-III is a selective and potent inhibitor of voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7, with an IC50 of 2.1 nM. ProTx-III is a spider venom peptide isolated from the venom of the Peruvian green velvet tarantella. ProTx-III has a typical inhibitor cystine knot motif (ICK). ProTx-III is able to reverse the pain response. ProTx-III can be used to study diseases such as chronic pain, epilepsy, and arrhythmia[1].
