Description
Waglerin-1 is a 22 amino acid peptide toxin isolated from the Southeast Asian snake Trimeresurus wagleri. Two other similar peptides named Waglerin-2 and 3 are isolated from the same snake species. Waglerin-1 selectively blocks the nAChRε subunit with an IC50 of 50 nM and is a potent blocker of muscle nAChR. Waglerin-1 is also a modulator of GABA(A) receptors with potentiating and suppressing effects. Its IC50 and EC50 value is 24 μM.
