Biotium Alpha-bungarotoxin Cf488a 00005 FREE S&H . Biotium Protein electrophoresis markers.

Bungarotoxins are venom toxins from the many-banded krait (Bungarus Multicinctus), which inhibit neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction. Alpha-bungarotoxin is a potent inhibitor for the motor endplate acetylcholine receptor (Kd = 1 nM to 1 pM). Beta-bungarotoxincontains a small subunit that blocks voltage-gated K+ channels on the presynaptic membranes, and a large subunit that has phospholipase A2 activity. Fluorescent conjugates of alpha-bungarotoxin can be used to label acetylcholine receptors in skeletal muscle endplates. Biotium offers a variety of bungarotoxin products, including conjugates of our outstanding CF℠dyes, which offer advantages in brightness, photostability, and/or signal-to-noise ratio compared to other fluorescent dyes. Please see the CF℠dye reference chart under the Datasheets tab to select the appropriate CF℠dye for your application. CF℠dyes are covered by pending U.S. and international patents.
