We present the complete amino acid sequence of Imperatoxin A (IpTx(a)), a 33-amino-acid peptide from the venom of the scorpion P. imperator which activates Ca2+ release channels/ryanodine receptors (RyR) of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The amino acid sequence of IpTx(a) shows

We report the purification of two peptides, called "imperatoxin inhibitor" and "imperatoxin activator," from the venom of the scorpion Pandinus imperator targeted against ryanodine receptor Ca(2+)-release channels. Imperatoxin inhibitor has a M(r) of approximately 10,500, inhibits [3H]ryanodine binding to skeletal

We have used [3H]ryanodine binding experiments and single channel recordings to provide convergent descriptions of the effect of imperatoxin A (IpTxa), a approximately 5-kDa peptide from the venom of the scorpion Pandinus imperator (Valdivia, H. H., Kirby, M. S., Lederer
