Waglerin1-FAM
詳情介紹:
Sequence | AA sequence: FAM-Gly-Gly-Lys-Pro-Asp-Leu-Arg-Pro-Cys9-His -Pro-Pro-Cys13-His-Tyr-Ile-Pro-Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Arg-OH Disulfide bonds: Cys9-Cys13 |
Characteristics | Waglerin-1-FAM is a nAChR blocker |
Background | Waglerin-1 (Wtx-1) is a peptide originally isolated from the venom of the Wagler's pit viper (Trimeresurus wagleri). This 22 amino-acid peptide is a competitive antagonist of ***** muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Waglerin-1 binds selectively to epsilon subunit of nAChR. Some studies have demonstrated that Waglerin-1 has an effect on ionotropic GABA receptors. It may potentiate or depress I(GABA) depending on the neurons. Some derivatives of Waglerin-1 are currently used in cosmetics to reduce wrinkles. The fluorescent derivative Waglerin-1-FAM can be use to explore the expression and function of the ***** nAChR subtypes. |
