Erabutoxin A

CAS: 11094-61-4

Erabutoxin A is a potent neurotoxin, which is sourced from the venom of the sea snake Laticauda semifasciata. This proteinaceous toxin functions by binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. By occupying these receptor sites, Erabutoxin A effectively inhibits the binding of acetylcholine, leading to a blockade of neuromuscular transmission. This mechanism results in muscle paralysis, making it a key subject for studying synaptic transmission and receptor functioning.
