Description

Application

Powerful probe for exploring the vertebrate pre-synaptic terminal.

ω-Conotoxin GVIA has been used as an antagonist for N-type calcium channel (CaV2.2) in various studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Blocks specific voltage-dependent N-type Ca²⁺ channels in neurons, but not in muscle; does not bind to either the dihydropyridine or verapamil binding sites; peptide first isolated from the marine snail Conus geographus L.

ω-Conotoxin GVIA is a 27 amino acid neurotoxin containing three disulfide bonds. It inhibits central neurotransmitter release and also exhibits antihypertensive, analgesic and neuroprotective activities.

Other Notes

Lyophilized from 0.1% TFA in H2O
