Muscarinic toxin 2 (Mtx2) is a polypeptide toxin derived from the venom of the Eastern green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps). It is classified as a neurotoxin and primarily targets the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, which are crucial for various physiological functions in the nervous system. Mtx2 exhibits high specificity for certain subtypes of these receptors, leading to its potential use in pharmacological research to understand receptor function and signaling pathways. The toxin is composed of a relatively small number of amino acids, which contributes to its ability to fold into a stable three-dimensional structure that is essential for its biological activity. Mtx2 has been studied for its potential implications in neuropharmacology and as a tool for investigating receptor interactions. Its unique properties make it a subject of interest in the development of therapeutic agents and in the study of venomous compounds. However, due to its toxic nature, handling and research involving Mtx2 require appropriate safety measures.
