Description

Chlorotoxin is an ion channel activator that is characterized by its high purity and affinity. It has been shown to bind to the acetylcholine receptor in the brain, which leads to increased levels of acetylcholine at the synapse and subsequent activation of postsynaptic neurons. Chlorotoxin also inhibits potassium channels, leading to hyperpolarization of cells and a decrease in neuronal activity. The peptide is used as a research tool for cell biology and pharmacology studies.
