Description & Applications

Product Description

The venom of Acanthophis antarcticus (Common Death Adder) is a highly potent cocktail of neurotoxins. Unlike many other elapids, its venom contains predominantly post-synaptic neurotoxins (acanthopins) that bind with high affinity to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) at the neuromuscular junction, causing flaccid paralysis. It also contains significant anticoagulant activity.

Research Applications

Neuromuscular Pharmacology: Ideal for studying post-synaptic blockade and nAChR kinetics.
Toxinology: Source of acanthopins (short-chain neurotoxins) structurally related to erabutoxins.
Coagulation: Investigation of venom-induced coagulopathy mechanisms.

Quality Control

Each batch is analyzed by SDS-PAGE and HPLC to ensure consistent protein profiles. Endotoxin levels are monitored to support cell-based assays.
