Description

Potent and selective α3β2 and β3 nAChR antagonist

View all Additional Nicotinic Receptor Antagonists »

Product Description

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.
