General description
Synthetic peptide toxin that was originally isolated from the sea anemone, Anthopleura xanthogrammica.
Synthetic peptide toxin.
Application
Anthopleurin-A is a toxin used to study the gating mechanisms of sodium channels. Anthopleurin-A slows the repolarization phase of nerve and muscle action potentials by inactivating the sodium channel.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Anthopleurin-A slows the repolarization phase of nerve and muscle action potentials by inactivating the sodium channel. Anthopleurin-A shows a preference towards cardiac channels over the neuronal sodium channels. It is a toxin used to study the gating mechanisms of sodium channels.
Shown to have inotropic effects and not chronotropic effects on mammalian heart preparations.
