Cardiotoxin 1 from Naja naja atra (CAT: M093977) is a basic polypeptide toxin belonging to the three-finger toxin family of snake venom proteins. It consists of approximately 60–62 amino acids stabilized by disulfide bonds, giving it a rigid, compact structure. Cardiotoxin 1 exhibits potent cytotoxic and membrane-disrupting activity, targeting cell membranes—particularly those of cardiac muscle cells—by binding to phospholipids and causing depolarization, calcium influx, and eventual cell lysis. In research, it is used to study membrane biology, ion channel function, and myotoxic mechanisms. Its well-defined structure and bioactivity also make it a valuable tool in pharmacological and toxicological studies of cobra venom components.
