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.

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].

IC50 & Target

Nav1.7

2.1 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

ProTx-III in native, recombinant and synthetic C-terminal acid and amide forms inhibit hNaV1.7 with IC50s of 2.1, 9.5, 11.5 and 2.5 nM, respectively[1].
. ProTx-III inhibits hNav1.7 without significantly altering the voltage dependence of activation or inactivation[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

ProTx-III (0.01-1 μM; intraplantar injection) can proves to be analgesic by reversing spontaneous pain induces in mice by intraplantar injection in OD1 in mouse model[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: OD1-induced mouse model of pain(300Nm; intraplantar injection)[1]
Dosage: 100 nM, 300 nM, 1μM
Administration: intraplantar injection
Result: Showed at 1 μM (40 pmoles in a 40 μl injection) and 300 nM (12 pmoles in a 40 μl injection) significantly reduced spontaneous pain behaviour in a concentration dependent manner and this reduction in pain behaviour persisted for 25 min after injection of the highest concentration.

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.
