Relevance: Alpha-conotoxins act on postsynaptic membranes, they bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) and thus inhibit them. This toxin specifically blocks mammalian neuronal nAChR of the alpha-7/CHRNA7, alpha-3-beta-2/CHRNA3-CHRNB2 and alpha-4-beta-2/CHRNA4-CHRNB2 subtypes. VxXXA and VxXXB inhibit alpha-7/CHRNA7 and alpha-3-beta-2/CHRNA3-CHRNB2 nAChR more efficiently than VxXXC. VxXXB is the most effective at inhibiting alpha-4-beta-2/CHRNA4-CHRNB2 nAChR, followed by VxXXC and VxXXA.

Purity: Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Storage Buffer: Tris-based buffer，50% glycerol

Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20℃/-80℃. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20℃/-80℃.

Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4℃ for up to one week.
