Description & Applications
Product Description
Androctonus australis venom is one of the most studied scorpion venoms globally. It is the source of the classic alpha-toxins AaH I and AaH II, which bind to site 3 of voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV) and slow inactivation. This venom is an essential tool for characterizing NaV channel subtypes in neuronal and cardiac tissues.
Research Applications
- Channelopathy Research: Investigating NaV channel gating mechanisms.
- Insecticide Development: Source of insect-selective toxins (e.g., AaH IT).
- Neuropharmacology: Modulating neuronal excitability in model systems.
Quality Control
Characterized by LC-MS to confirm the presence of major alpha-toxins. Protein content quantified by BCA assay.
