Addition of K22 Converts Spider Venom Peptide Pme2a from an Activator to an Inhibitor of Na<sub>V</sub>1.7

Addition of K22 Converts Spider Venom Peptide Pme2a from an Activator to an Inhibitor of Na<sub>V</sub>1.7

Spider venom is a novel source of disulfide-rich peptides with potent and selective activity at voltage-gated sodium channels (Na<sub>V</sub>). Here, we describe the discovery of &#956;-theraphotoxin-Pme1a and &#956;/<i>&#948;</i>-theraphotoxin-Pme2a, two novel pe...
