Names

[ Name ]:
Calcicludine

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Calcicludine is a protein toxin from the venom of the green mamba Dendroaspis angusticeps that inhibits high-voltage-activated calcium channel, especially L-type calcium channel with the IC50 of 88 nM. Calcicludine has role in excitatory synaptic transmission[1][2].
