• Description: Omega-Conotoxin MVIIC is a peptide toxin that blocks the voltage-dependent calcium channels. It has been shown to have neuroprotective properties and to inhibit glutamate induced neurotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Omega-Conotoxin MVIIC inhibits neurotransmitter release by blocking the calcium channels and thereby reduces oxidative stress, which prevents neuronal cell death. This toxin also blocks the activity of voltage-dependent sodium channels, but its effects are not as potent as those on calcium channels. Omega-Conotoxin MVIIC has been found to be effective against cerebellar granule neurons, as well as other neurons in the brainstem, cerebellum, hippocampus, and cerebral cortex. The molecular weight of this toxin is approximately 10 kDa and it contains subunits (a total of eight).
