Characterization of Functional Effects of Two New Active Fractions Isolated From Scorpion Venom on Neuronal Ca2+ Spikes: A Possible Action on Ca2+-Dependent Dependent K+ Channels
Abstract:Introduction:
It is a long time that natural toxin research is conducted to unlock the medical
potential of toxins. Although venoms-toxins cause pathophysiological conditions, they
may be effective to treat several diseases. Since toxins including scorpion toxins
target voltage-gated ion channels, they may have profound effects on excitable cells.
Therefore, elucidating the cellular and electrophysiological impacts of toxins,
particularly scorpion toxins would be helpful in future drug development… Show more
