AmmTX3 TFA
Based on 1 Customer Validation
AmmTX3 TFA is a peptide toxin identified from the venom of the scorpion Androctonus mauretanicus. AmmTX3 TFA is a highly specific blocker of Kv4 channels, which selectively and almost completely blocks transient A-type K+ currents with a Ki of 131 nM. AmmTX3 TFA induces epileptiform behaviors and causes death in mice receiving intracerebroventricular injection. AmmTX3 TFA increases the excitability of dentate gyrus granule cells, reduces GABAergic inhibition, enhances and stabilizes the EPSP-spike component of long-term potentiation, and impairs reference memory. AmmTX3 TFA can be used in research related to pain, epilepsy, and autism spectrum disorder.

Biologische Aktivität
AmmTX3 (1 h) TFA binds with high affinity to a specific site on rat brain synaptosomes, fully displacing 125I-labelled sBmTX3 with a Ki of 19.5 pM, and exhibits a Kd of 66 pM for its own binding site[1].
AmmTX3 (0.1 nM-10 μM) TFA potently blocks the A-type K+ current in primary striatal neurons in culture, with a Ki of 131 nM, and its inhibitory effect is reversible[1].
AmmTX3 (0.5 μM) TFA potently blocks Kv4.2 channel currents in CHO-K1 cells co-expressed with DPP6S (with or without KChIP1), but only weakly blocks Kv4.2 + KChIP1 currents, demonstrating DPP6S confers high AmmTX3 TFA sensitivity to Kv4.2 channels[3].
AmmTX3 (0.5 μM) TFA potently blocks Kv4.3 channel currents in CHO-K1 cells co-expressed with DPP10a, but only weakly blocks Kv4.3 + KChIP1 currents, demonstrating DPP10a confers high AmmTX3 TFA sensitivity to Kv4.3 channels[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
AmmTX3 (0.75 mg; i.c.v.; single injection) TFA increases and stabilizes the EPSP-spike component of long-term potentiation in the dentate gyrus from 90 minutes post-high-frequency stimulation, with no effect on basal synaptic transmission or short-term plasticity[2].

Dosage:0.75 mg
-
Administration:i.c.v.; single injection
-
Result:Showed no significant differences in basal transmission (input-output curves, baseline field EPSP slope, population spike amplitude) or short-term plasticity (paired-pulse ratio) compared to vehicle group.
Increased field EPSP slope by 16.1% post-stimulation, remaining above baseline for 30 minutes, with no significant difference from vehicle group at any post-stimulation time point.
Maintained population spike amplitude above baseline for the full 4-hour recording period, while vehicle group's amplitude steadily decreased; significant difference between groups emerged 90 minutes post-induction.
