Description This heterodimeric toxin potently activates mouse acid-sensing ion channel ASIC1/ACCN2 expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Both alternatively spliced isoforms ASIC1a and ASIC1b are activated, with a higher potency for ASIC1a (EC(50)=9.4 nM) vs ASIC1b (EC(50)=23 nM). The ASIC3/ACCN3 subtype is also sensitive to the heterodimer, but with a lower potency (EC(50)=830 nM). On ASIC2a/ACCN1, the toxin shows a very weak activation, but produces a remarkable potentiation (>100-fold) of protons when the extracellular pH drops below neutrality. The toxin interacts with the extracellular region of the channel, since responses are only observed in the outside-out configuration. In vivo, the heterodimer elicits robust pain-related behavior in mice by activation of ASIC1/ACCN2 channels on capsaicin-sensitive nerve fibers. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa25-84 from micrurus tener tener, fused to His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in Yeast.
