ω-Agatoxin IVA
P/Q Type Ca2+ Channel Blocker
ω-Agatoxin IVA is a highly selective blocker of P/Q type calcium channels (Cav2.1), with IC50 values of 2 nM and 90 nM. This compound effectively inhibits glutamate exocytosis and calcium influx triggered by elevated potassium levels. Additionally, ω-Agatoxin IVA suppresses capsaicin-induced CGRP release and associated vasodilation. It is valuable for investigations into neurological and cardiovascular diseases, contributing to the understanding of calcium channel modulation in these contexts.
