Psalmotoxin 1  (Synonyms: PcTx1; Psalmopoeus cambridgei toxin-1)

Cat. No.: HY-P1411 Purity: ≥99.0%
COA Handling Instructions

Psalmotoxin 1 (PcTx1) is a protein toxin that can bind at subunit-subunit interfaces of acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a). Psalmotoxin 1 is a potent and slective ASIC1a inhibitor (IC50: 0.9 nM) by increasing the apparent affinity for H+ of ASIC1a. Psalmotoxin 1 can induce cell apoptosis, also inhibits cell migration, proferliration and invasion of cancer cells. Psalmotoxin 1 can be used in the research of cancers, or neurological disease.

Description

Psalmotoxin 1 (PcTx1) is a protein toxin that can bind at subunit-subunit interfaces of acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a). Psalmotoxin 1 is a potent and slective ASIC1a inhibitor (IC50: 0.9 nM) by increasing the apparent affinity for H+ of ASIC1a. Psalmotoxin 1 can induce cell apoptosis, also inhibits cell migration, proferliration and invasion of cancer cells. Psalmotoxin 1 can be used in the research of cancers, or neurological disease[1][3][4][6].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.9 nM (ASIC1a), 50 nM (ASIC1b, ASIC2a, and ASIC3)[6].

In Vitro

Psalmotoxin 1 (20 nM, 125 s) inhibits ASIC1a currents by drastically shifting the steady-state desensitization curve to lower H+ concentrations[1].
? Psalmotoxin 1 (30 nM) competes with Ca2+ in binding to ASIC1a channels[1].
? Psalmotoxin 1 (100 or 200 ng, 24-72 h) significantly weakens the migration, proliferation and invasion of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells[4].
? Psalmotoxin 1 (100 ng/mL, 24 h) significantly inhibits acid-induced increases in intracellular calcium and LDH release, induces cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs)[5].

Cell Proliferation Assay[4]

Cell Line: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells
Concentration: 100 or 200 ng
Incubation Time: 24, 48, 72 h
Result: Inhibited the cell migration, proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells.

Western Blot Analysis[5]

Cell Line: Nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs)
Concentration: 100 ng/mL
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Decreased Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression, and increased Bcl-2 expression.
In Vivo

Psalmotoxin 1 (i.c.v., 1 ng/kg, a single dose) is neuroprotective in a conscious model of stroke via direct inhibition of ASIC1a[2].
? Psalmotoxin 1 (tail vein injection, 10 ng/kg, daily for 7 days) inhibits tumor growth in breast cancer mice model[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR)[2]
Dosage: 1 ng/kg, a single dose.
Administration: Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection
Result: Reduced cortical and striatal infarct volumes measured 72 h post-stroke.
Reduced the severity of motor deficit at 1 and 3 days after stroke compared to control rats.
Displayed an anti-apoptotic effect in the occluded hemisphere (reduced stroke-induced caspase-3 positive cells).
Animal Model: Female nude BALB/C mice (orthotopic implantation, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells)[3]
Dosage: 10 ng/kg, daily for 7 days.
Administration: Tail vein injection
Result: Inhibited breast tumor growth.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
