Description

Cardiotoxin 1 From Naja Naja Atra is a highly purified, biologically active polypeptide toxin isolated from the venom of the Chinese cobra (Naja atra). This compound is a critical research tool for studying ion channel function, cellular apoptosis, and cardiovascular pharmacology. It is essential for pharmaceutical R&D, toxicology studies, and academic research focused on neurobiology and cardiology.

Application

• Pharmacological Research: Used as a specific probe to study the structure and function of cardiac and skeletal muscle cell membranes and ion channels.
• Cytotoxicity & Apoptosis Studies: Employed in cell biology to investigate mechanisms of toxin-induced cell death and membrane lysis.
• Neuroscience Research: Serves as a tool to examine the effects on neuromuscular junctions and neuronal signaling pathways.
• Antivenom Development: Acts as a key antigen in the production and efficacy testing of therapeutic antivenoms.
• Drug Discovery Screening: Utilized in high-throughput assays to identify potential inhibitors or neutralizing agents for toxin activity.
• Biochemical Standard: Provides a reference standard for the quality control and characterization of other venom-derived components.
