Convulxin
Cat. No.: HY-117123
CAS No.: 37206-04-5
Convulxin is a toxin found in a tropical rattlesnake. Convulxin stimulates platelet aggregation, and clusters GPVI to trigger Src family kinase activation, Fc receptor γ chain phosphorylation, and p72SYK signaling. Convulxin interacts with Dectin-2 to induce IL-10 production, activates monocytes to generate ROS and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated IL-1β secretion, and induces mitochondrial ROS. Convulxin causes transient arterial blood pressure changes in dogs. Convulxin can be used for research related to coagulation.
