Margatoxin TFA, an alpha-KTx scorpion toxin, is a high affinity inhibitor of Kv1.3 (Kd=11.7 pM). Margatoxin TFA inhibits the Kv1.2 (Kd=6.4 pM) and Kv1.1 (Kd=4.2 nM). Margatoxin TFA, a 39 amino-acid-long peptide, is isolated from the venom of the scorpion Centruroides margaritatus and widely used in ion channel research.

Description

Margatoxin TFA, an alpha-KTx scorpion toxin, is a high affinity inhibitor of Kv1.3 (Kd=11.7 pM). Margatoxin TFA inhibits the Kv1.2 (Kd=6.4 pM) and Kv1.1 (Kd=4.2 nM). Margatoxin TFA, a 39 amino-acid-long peptide, is isolated from the venom of the scorpion Centruroides margaritatus and widely used in ion channel research[1][2].

IC50 & Target

Kd: 11.7 pM (Kv1.3), 6.4 pM (Kv1.2) and 4.2 nM (Kv1.1)[1]

In Vivo

Margatoxin TFA (i.p.; 1 pmol/g) significantly decreases thiogycollate-induced leukocyte transmigration in the peritoneal cavity in 12-week-old C57BL6/J mice[2].

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.
