General description
Synthetic peptide toxin that was originally isolated from the sea anemone, Anthopleura xanthogrammica.
Application
Anthopleurin-A is a toxin used to study the gating mechanisms of sodium channels. Anthopleurin-A slows the repolarization phase of nerve and muscle action potentials by inactivating the sodium channel.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Anthopleurin-A slows the repolarization phase of nerve and muscle action potentials by inactivating the sodium channel. Anthopleurin-A shows a preference towards cardiac channels over the neuronal sodium channels. It is a toxin used to study the gating mechanisms of sodium channels.
Shown to have inotropic effects and not chronotropic effects on mammalian heart preparations.

The gating charge and voltage dependence of the open state to the inactivated state (O-->I) transition was measured for the voltage-dependent mammalian cardiac Na channel. Using the site 3 toxin, Anthopleurin-A (Ap-A), which selectively modifies the O-->I transition (see Hanck

Site-3 toxins are small polypeptide venoms from scorpions, sea anemones, and spiders that bind with a high specificity to the extracellular surface of voltage-gated Na channels. After binding to a site near the S4 segment in domain IV the toxin

The long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is a hereditary disorder characterized by an abnormally prolonged QT interval and by life-threatening arrhythmias. Recently, two of the genes responsible for LQTS have been identified: SCN5A, a voltage-dependent Na+ channel on chromosome 3 (LQT3), and

Site-3 toxins from scorpion and sea anemone bind to Na channels and selectively inhibit current decay. Anthopleurins A and B (ApA and ApB, respectively), toxins found in the venom of the sea anemone Anthopleura xanthogrammica, bind to closed states of

The physiological function of the axon is to conduct short all-or-none action potentials from their site of initiation (usually the cell body) to the synapse. To ensure this function, both passive and active biophysical properties of the axons are tuned
