Poneratoxin is a peptide toxin that acts as a modulator of voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV), specifically NaV1.6 and NaV1.7, with EC50 values of 97 nM and 2.3 µM, respectively. It lowers the voltage threshold for channel activation and inhibits their inactivation, thereby enhancing neuronal excitability. This activity is relevant in studies of pain signal transmission and neuropathic pain research, making Poneratoxin a valuable tool in neurobiology and pharmacological investigations.
