alpha-cobratoxin - CAS 769933-79-1
Alpha-cobratoxin(Cat No.:P000398), is a potent neurotoxin present in the venom of certain cobra species, notably the Naja naja atra snake. This toxin specifically targets and disrupts nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are critical for nerve signal transmission. Its interaction with these receptors can lead to paralysis and potentially fatal consequences if not treated promptly. Researchers study alpha-cobra toxin to understand its mechanism of action and explore potential medical applications, such as designing new drugs for neurological disorders.
