Description & Applications

Product Description

Androctonus mauritanicus venom shares many characteristics with A. australis but contains a distinct profile of alpha-toxins (e.g., Amm VIII). It is highly potent against mammals and insects, making it a valuable resource for comparative toxinology and the study of sodium channel pharmacology.

Research Applications

  • Structure-Function Studies: Comparing Amm toxins with other alpha-toxins to map receptor binding sites.
  • Pain Research: Investigating the role of specific NaV subtypes in nociception.
