Biochem/physiol Actions

Neurotoxin that inhibits release of catecholamines from adrenal medulla; blocks release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions.

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing 20 mM HEPES and 1.25% lactose when reconstituted with the volume of water or buffer indicated on the Certifcate of Analysis.

Preparation Note

When toxin is used for in vitro studies, it is preincubated in a buffer containing 5 mM dithiothreitol for 30 minutes in order to reduce and thereby activate the toxin.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute each 100 μg vial with 100 μL of appropriate buffer. Upon reconstitution, the vial will contain 20 mM HEPES and 1.25% lactose. To insure full recovery of toxin from the vial, include 1 mg/mL BSA in the reconstitution buffer.

Other Notes

Handle the toxin gently. Do not vortex. Use sufficient volume of buffer to wash down the walls and stopper. Read all handling information found on SDS prior to reconstitution.
