We now have supplies of the voltage dependent Ca++ channel blocking toxin,
taicatoxin (isolated from venom of Oxyuranus scutellatus scutellatus -
Australian taipan snake venom), which selectively blocks VDCCs in cardiac
membranes (specific to high threshold L-type Ca++ current).
See Possani L.D. et al (1992) Toxicon 30, 1343-, for details of the
activity and structure of this toxin.
Price: US$900.00 per milligram plus freight.
Email for further information. We also produce prothrombin activators,
presynapticly neurotoxic phospholipase A2 toxins and a range of other
natural chemicals sourced from animal venom.
