Charybdotoxin – 0.1 mg

Overview

Charybdotoxin (ChTX) is a potent Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ channel blocker, derived from the venom of the scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus. This unique peptide not only depolarizes peripheral T lymphocytes but also effectively inhibits their mitogen-induced proliferation. Its specific action makes it a valuable tool in research focusing on immune responses and cell proliferation. Researchers looking to understand the intricacies of T cell function will find ChTX to be an essential component in their studies.

Key Features

• Disulfide bridges at positions 7-28, 13-33, and 17-35 enhance stability.
• Useful in studying Ca²⁺-dependent K⁺ channels.
• Ideal for applications involving T lymphocyte activity and proliferation.
• High purity and reliability for accurate results.
• Comprehensive data supporting its functional applications in cell biology.
