MARGATOXIN
Product ID L8230-100UG 
Name MARGATOXIN 
Molecular formula C178H286N52O50S7
Description
A 39 amino-acids peptide with 3 disulfide bridges , synthetic, initially isolated from the venom of the Central American bark scorpion Centruroides margaritatus.
Biological activity

MgTx preferentially inhibits voltage-dependent potassium channels Kv1.3 with an IC50 value around 50 pM (20 fold more potent than Charybdotoxin) and irreversibly inhibits the proliferation response of human T-cells at 20 µM concentration. Margatoxin is known to be less potent on Kv1.3 expressed in Xenopus Oocytes (IC50 around 1 nM). Margatoxin was also described to be a potent inhibitor of human vascular smooth muscle cell migration with an IC50 of 85 pM.
