Description

α-Conotoxin Vc1.1 TFA is a disulfide-bonded peptide isolated from Conus victoriae and is a selective nAChR antagonist. α-Conotoxin Vc1.1 TFA inhibits α3α5β2, α3β2 and α3β4 with IC50s of 7.2 μM, 7.3 μM and 4.2 μM, respectively, and has less inhibitory effect on other nAChR subtypes. α-Conotoxin Vc1.1 TFA has the potential for neuropathic pain reserach[1][2].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 7.2 μM (α3α5β2), 7.3 μM (α3β2) and 4.2 μM (α3β4)[1]

In Vitro

The α-Conotoxin Vc1.1 is first discovered using a PCR screen of cDNAs from the venom ducts of Conus victoriae. α-Conotoxin Vc1.1 inhibits nicotine-evoked membrane currents in isolated bovine chromaffin cells in a concentration-dependent manner and preferentially targets peripheral nAChR subtypes over central subtypes. The three-dimensional structure of Vc1.1 comprises a small alpha-helix spanning residues Pro6 to Asp11 and is braced by the I-III, II-IV disulfide connectivity seen in other alpha-conotoxins. The cysteine spacing within the sequence of α-Conotoxin Vc1.1 suggests that it is a member of the 4/7 subclass of α-conotoxins, which includes the extensively studied conotoxins MII, EpI and PnIB[1].

In Vivo

α-Conotoxin Vc1.1 (0.18-18 μg/μL; intramuscular injection; daily; for 7 days; male Sprague-Dawley rats) treatment suppresses pain behaviors and also accelerates functional recovery of injured neurons in CCI rats[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
