α-Conotoxin MII
Purity: ≥95%
Biological Activity
α-Conotoxin MII is a highly potent and selective competitive antagonist for α3β2 subunit-containing nicotinic receptors (IC50 = 0.5 - 3.5 nM at α3β2 expressed in Xenopus oocytes). Also potently blocks β3-containing neuronal nicotinic receptors. Displays > 200-fold selectivity for α3β2 over α2β2, α4β2 and α3β4.Technical Data
(Modifications: Disulfide bridges: 2-8, 3-16, Cys-16 = C-terminal amide)
