Chinese tarantula Ornithoctonus huwena is one of the most venomous spiders distributing in the hilly areas of southern China. In this study, using whole-cell patch-clamp technique we investigated electrophysiological and pharmacological properties of ion channels from tarantula subesophageal ganglion neurons. It was found that the neurons express multiple kinds of ion channels at least including voltage-gated...
The effects of huwentoxin-V, an insect neurotoxic peptide from Chinese tarantula Ornithoctonus huwena venom, were studied on neuronal voltage-gated ion channels. Whole-cell patch-clamp configuration indicated that huwentoxin-V specifically inhibited high-voltage-activated calcium channels in adult cockroach dorsal unpaired median neurons (IC 50 ≈219 nM) while having no evident effect on voltage-gated...
