Description: Potent KV1.3 channel blocker
Alternative Names: MgTX
Purity: ≥95% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Margatoxin
Margatoxin is a potent KV1.3 channel blocker (IC50 = 36 pM). Displays no effect at calcium-activated channels. Reduces VEGF-induced transmembrane calcium influxes and nitric oxide production in human endothelial cells.

Great water soluble selective Kv channel blocker.

Margatoxin was used in our lab to study SK channel opening and blocking effect. Margatoxin was used to compare with other selective SK channel blockers as they do not show significant SK blocking. The product performed excellent in sterile cell culture labs and would high recommend. The product is water soluble which is also a plus.

Epilepsy Poster
Epilepsy is a brain disease that affects 60 million people globally. More than 20 anti-seizure drugs are currently available, but these do not address the underlying causes of the condition. This poster summarizes current knowledge about the development of the condition and highlights some approaches that have disease-modifying effects in proof-of-concept studies.
Pain Poster
Peripheral sensitization is the reduction in the threshold of excitability of sensory neurons that results in an augmented response to a given external stimulus. This poster outlines the excitatory and inhibitory signaling pathways involved in modulation of peripheral sensitization. The role of ion channels, GPCRs, neurotrophins, and cytokines in sensory neurons are also described.
