Analysis of the structural and molecular basis of voltage-sensitive sodium channel inhibition by the spider toxin, Huwentoxin-IV (-TRTX-Hh2a).
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23760503
Function
[TXH4_HAPSC] This lethal neurotoxin acts selectively on tetrodotoxin-sensitive (TTX-S) voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav), with an IC(50) of 30 nM in rat DRG neurons. Preferentially inhibits neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel subtype hNav1.7/SCN9A (IC(50) is 26 nM), rNav1.2/SCN2A (IC(50) is 150 nM), and rNav1.3/SCN3A (IC(50) is 338 nM), compared with muscle subtypes rNav1.4/SCN4A and hNav1.5/SCN5A (IC(50) is > 10 uM). Inhibits activation of sodium channel by trapping the voltage sensor of domain II of the site 4 in the inward, closed configuration.[1] [2]
