Alpha toxins bind voltage-independently at site-3 of sodium channels (Nav) and inhibit the inactivation of the activated channels, thereby blocking neuronal transmission. This toxin acts on Nav1.2/SCN2A, Nav1.3/SCN3A, Nav1.5/SCN5A, Nav1.6/SCN8A and Nav1.7/SCN9A voltage-gated sodium channels, with the highest affinity for Nav1.3/SCN3A, followed by Nav1.6/SCN8A and Nav1.7/SCN9A which are affected almost equally. Interestingly, shows a significant shift of the voltage dependence of activation for Nav1.3/SCN3A that is characteristic of beta-toxins.
Source:Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-62 from Tityus serrulatus Alpha-mammal toxin Ts2, fused to 10X His-Tag at N-terminal and Myc-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in Baculovirus.
