π-TRTX-Hm3a
π-TRTX-Hm3a is a 37-amino acid peptide isolated from Togo starburst tarantula (Heteroscodra maculata) venom. π-TRTX-Hm3a pH-dependently inhibits acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) with an IC50 of 1-2 nM and potentiates ASIC1b with an EC50 of 46.5 nM.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Two-electrode voltage clamp in Xenopus oocytes
Two-electrode voltage clamp measures whole-oocyte membrane current from Xenopus oocytes expressing exogenous ion channels, receptors, or transporters; one intracellular microelectrode senses membrane voltage, and the second injects current so the amplifier can hold the membrane at command voltages while recording the compensating current as the functional readout. The method is suited to Xenopus oocytes because their large size supports microinjection and intracellular electrode impalement, but the large membrane area can limit voltage-clamp speed and accuracy, especially for large or fast currents.
