Purity : > 90%
Biological Activity :
Batrachotoxin is a Na+ channels activator.
Batrachotoxin (BTX) is the most active alkaloid binding at receptor site-2 on sodium channels.
BTX activates the sodium channel even at very negative membrane potentials and keeps it open permanently by preventing channel inactivation.
BTX also changes the selectivity of the channel to Na+ ions and makes it less selective, enabling larger ions to pass through the pore. EC50 (in vitro): 0.1 to 100 nanomolar.BTX binding induces many allosteric effects on other channel regions and increases the binding of scorpion alpha-toxins to receptor site-3, of brevetoxin to receptor site-5, and of pyrethroid insecticides to receptor site-7.
Batrachotoxin-sensitive sodium channels are expressed in central and peripheral neurons and in both striated and cardiac muscle, where they regulate excitability.
BTX is used for the study of the function of sodium channels.
BTX is used for the study of the effects of other toxins and of different kinds of drugs (anesthetics, analgesics, antiarrhythmics, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants). Recommended doses: < 1 µg/kg.
Recommended concentrations:0.01 to 10 µmol.
