Product Information

• Name: Huwentoxin- IV
• Synonyms: HWTX-IV, Glu-Cys-Leu-Glu-Ile-Phe-Lys-Ala-Cys-Asn-Pro-Ser-Asn-Asp-Gln-Cys-Cys-Lys-Ser-Ser-Lys-Leu-Val-Cys-Ser-Arg-Lys-Thr-Arg-Trp-Cys -Lys-Tyr-Gln-Ile-NH2
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Huwentoxin IV is a peptide that is used as a research tool to investigate protein interactions. It binds to the receptor of a specific ligand and activates ion channels, which are pores in the cell membrane that allow ions to flow into and out of cells. Huwentoxin IV has been shown to inhibit protein interactions by preventing phosphorylation of proteins, which is necessary for protein-protein interactions. This process has also been shown to activate ion channels in the cell membrane. Huwentoxin IV is an inhibitor of protein-protein interactions and cell proliferation.
