Description

Ammodytoxin C CAS NO 122933-83-9 is a potent phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzyme isolated from the venom of the nose-horned viper (*Vipera ammodytes*). This high-purity biochemical is critical for advanced research into neurotoxicity, myotoxicity, and the molecular mechanisms of snake venom action. It serves as an essential reference standard and active component for specialized life science applications, including pharmacological studies, antivenom development, and the investigation of inflammatory pathways.

Application

• Neurotoxicity Research: Used as a key tool to study the specific effects of presynaptic neurotoxins on neurotransmitter release and neuromuscular junction function.
• Antivenom Development & Potency Testing: Acts as a critical antigen and reference standard for the production, calibration, and efficacy evaluation of therapeutic antivenoms.
• Biochemical & Enzymatic Studies: Employed to investigate the structure, function, and inhibition mechanisms of phospholipase A2 enzymes in controlled laboratory settings.
• Pharmacological Probes: Utilized in drug discovery research to screen for and characterize novel inhibitors of venom-derived PLA2 activity.
• Toxinology & Comparative Venom Analysis: Serves as a benchmark compound for profiling and comparing the composition and potency of various snake venoms.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Provides a reliable, high-quality reagent for university and government research projects focused on toxinology, herpetology, and molecular biology.

Quality Control

Our Ammodytoxin C is produced and purified under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Each lot is subjected to a comprehensive suite of analytical tests, including HPLC for purity assessment, SDS-PAGE for homogeneity, and enzymatic activity assays. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, specific activity, and endotoxin levels is provided with every shipment to support your research and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -70°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed under anhydrous conditions after each use.
