Relevance: Potently and selectively blocks the desensitization of ionotropic glutamate AMPA receptor (GRIA1, GRIA2, GRIA3 and GRIA4). Can also open already desensitized GRIA1 receptors. Binds to a different site than does the drug cyclothiazide . The toxin acts like a straightjacket on the ligand-binding domain (LBD) "gating ring" of the receptor, restraining the domains via both intra- and interdimer cross-links such that agonist-induced closure of the LBD "clamshells" is transduced into an irislike expansion of the gating ring . Application of the toxin to hippocampal slices causes a large and rapid increase in resting AMPAR-mediated current leading to neuronal death .

Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Storage Buffer: Tris-based buffer,50% glycerol
Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20℃/-80℃. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20℃/-80℃.
Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4℃ for up to one week.
