Effects of Cobra Cardiotoxins on Intracellular Calcium and the Contracture of Rat Cardiomyocytes Depend on Their Structural Types.
Cardiotoxins (CaTx) of the three-finger toxin family are one of the main components of cobra venoms. Depending on the structure of the N-terminal or the central polypeptide loop, they are classified into either group I and II or P- and S-types, respectively, and toxins of different groups or types interact with lipid membranes variably. While their main target in the organism is the cardiovascular system, there is no data on the effects of CaTxs from different groups or types on cardiomyocytes. To evaluate these effects, a fluorescence measurement of intracellular Ca Topics: Animals; Calcium; Calcium, Dietary; Cobra Cardiotoxin Proteins; Contracture; Elapid Venoms; Myocytes, Cardiac; Peptides; Rats; Toxins, Biological | 2023 |
