Transgenic Tarantula Toxin: A novel tool to study mechanosensitive ion channels in Drosophila
The tarantula venom toxin GsMTx4 is the only known specific inhibitor of cation-selective mechanosensitive ion channels (MSCs). Its specificity, potency, and ease of use on isolated tissues and cells have made it a powerful pharmacological tool to identify and probe the physiological function of MSC...
