Biochem/physiol Actions
Toxin found in the venom of the funnel web spider, Agelenopsis aptera. Potent, selective P-type and Q-type calcium-channel blocker, without effect on L-type, N-type, or T-type calcium channels. Used to differentiate the types of calcium channel active during various physiological processes

The sympathetic preganglionic nerve terminals of the rat superior cervical ganglion were loaded with the calcium indicator oregon green 488 BAPTA-1 to measure the change in calcium concentration in the terminal boutons, (delta[Ca2+]b) following short (1 or 5 impulses) and

The primary sensory Rohon-Beard (R-B) neurons of Xenopus larvae are highly analogous to the C fibers of the mammalian pain pathway. We explored the actions of 5-HT by studying the modulation of Ca2+ currents. In approximately 80% of the acutely

We characterized the electrophysiological properties of calcium channels in cultured rat hippocampal neurones using omega-agatoxin-TK (omega-Aga-TK) and compared them with those of the P-type channel and the BI (alpha 1A) channel which resembles the Q-type channel. Two types of omega-Aga-TK-sensitive

We characterized the electrophysiological properties of calcium channels in cultured rat cerebral cortical neurons using omega-agatoxin-TK (omega-Aga-TK) by a patch-clamp technique. Two types of slowly inactivating calcium channels sensitive to omega-Aga-TK were detected. The first type showed high sensitivity to

In the course of purification of omega-Aga-IVA, a specific P-type calcium channel blocker, from the venom of Agelenopsis aperta we discovered a novel peptide. This peptide, named omega-agatoxin Tsukuba (omega-Aga-TK), also blocked P-type channels and was twelve times more abundant
