Usage

Description

.mu.-Conotoxin G IIIA is a peptide toxin derived from the venom of cone snails. It is a potent and selective antagonist of the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.4, making it a valuable tool for studying the function of these channels in both physiological and pathological conditions. Its ability to specifically target Nav1.4 makes it an important molecule for the development of new treatments for pain and other conditions related to ion channel dysfunction.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
.mu.-Conotoxin G IIIA is used as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of pain and neurological disorders. Its selectivity for Nav1.4 channels makes it a promising candidate for developing new treatments that can effectively manage pain without the side effects associated with traditional pain medications.
Used in Research Applications:
.mu.-Conotoxin G IIIA is used as a research tool to better understand the role of sodium channels in various cellular processes. Its ability to selectively target Nav1.4 channels allows researchers to study the function and regulation of these channels in both physiological and pathological conditions, providing valuable insights into the development of new therapeutic strategies for pain and neurological disorders.
