Application

Iberiotoxin, recombinant from Mesobuthus tamulus has been used as an inhibitor of large-conductance calcium-activated K+ channels to study its effect on the NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor containing pyrin domain 3) inflammasome activation in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). It has also been used to block Ca2+- activated K+ channels to determine interleukin(IL)-1β in BMDCs following inflammasome activation.

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

The single chain peptide iberiotoxin (IbTX) is a selective and reversible inhibitor of high-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (PK,Ca). It occurs naturally in the venom of the scorpion Buthus tamulus. IbTX also modulates the binding of charybdotoxin (CbTX) to smooth muscle sarcolemmal membranes in a non-competitive manner. IbTX is similar in size to CbTX and shares considerable sequence homology with CbTX. However, IbTX differs in its overall charge in having one fewer basic and four more acidic residues than CbTX.
Exhibits the same activity as the natural form of the toxin

Opening of large conductance calcium-activated and voltage-dependent potassium (BKCa) channels hyperpolarizes plasma membranes of smooth muscle (SM) to cause vasodilation, underling a key mechanism for mediating uterine artery (UA) dilation in pregnancy. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been recently identified as

Potassium (K+) efflux across the plasma membrane is thought to be an essential mechanism for ATP-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, yet the identity of the efflux channel has remained elusive. Here we identified the two-pore domain K+ channel (K2P) TWIK2 as

Although immune checkpoint blockers have yielded significant clinical benefits in patients with different malignancies, the efficacy of these therapies is still limited. Here, we show that disruption of transmembrane protein 176B (TMEM176B) contributes to CD8+ T cell-mediated tumor growth inhibition by
