Popis: Chlorotoxin (CLTX) is a neurotoxin found in the venom of the Israeli scorpion, Leirius quinquestriatus. It contains 36-amino acids with four disulfide bonds and inhibits low-conductance chloride channels. CLTX also binds to matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) selectively. The synthesis of chlorotoxin using solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is very difficult and has a very low yield (
