Abstract
A toxic peptide earlier denominated Tc48b [Toxicon 40 (2002) 557] was purified to homogeneity and its amino acid sequence determined. It has 64 amino acid residues stabilized by four disulfide bridges with a molecular weight of 7,385.2 atomic mass units (a.m.u.). It affects Na(+)-permeability in pituitary GH3 cells in culture, in a similar fashion as those reported for alpha-scorpion toxins, contrary to most of the New World scorpion toxins that are beta-toxins.Entities:
