omega-Agatoxin IVA: A neuropeptide toxin from the venom of the funnel web spider, Agelenopsis aperta. It inhibits CALCIUM CHANNELS, P-TYPE by altering the voltage-dependent gating so that very large depolarizations are needed for channel opening. It also inhibits CALCIUM CHANNELS, Q-TYPE.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The role of different Ca2+ channel subtypes in shaping the Ca2+ dose-response relationship was studied using the selective Ca2+ channel blockers omega-agatoxin GIVA (omega-Aga), which blocks P/Q-type channels, and omega-conotoxin GVIA (omega-CTx), which blocks N-type channels."( N- and P/Q-type Ca2+ channels mediate transmitter release with a similar cooperativity at rat hippocampal autapses.
