Beschreibung

Alpha-dendrotoxin is a type of neurotoxin that blocks the voltage-gated sodium channel, which provides the neuron with a steady supply of energy. This toxin is found in the venom of certain snakes and can cause paralysis and death. Alpha-dendrotoxin binds to site 1 on the voltage-gated sodium channel and prevents it from opening. It does this by binding to its receptor, which is located on the inside surface of the cell membrane, thus blocking other ions from entering or leaving the cell. The blockage of ions leads to neuronal function impairment, such as memory loss or muscle paralysis.
