Calcicludine (CaC) is a protein toxin from the venom of the green mamba that inhibits high-voltage-activated calcium channels, especially L-type calcium channels. SourcesCalcicludine is a toxin in the venom of the green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps). ChemistryCalcicludine is a 60-amino acid polypeptide with six cysteines forming three disulfide bridges. Calcicludine structurally resembles dendrotoxin, but works differently, since even at high concentrations, calcicludine has no effect on dendrotoxin-sensitive potassium channels in chicken and rat neurons.[1] TargetCalcicludine is a blocker of high-voltage-activated calcium channels (L-, N- and P-type channels). It has highest affinity to the L-type calcium channel (IC50 = 88nM[2]). However, sensitivity of the drug on the channel depends on the species and the tissue. For example, the IC50 for block of L-type calcium channels on a cerebellar granule cell is 0.2 nM, but the IC50 of the block of rat peripheral DRG neuronal L-type channels is around 60-80 nM.[1] Mode of ActionCalcicludine has a unique mode of action, which is still incompletely understood. It has been suggested to act by a partial pore block or an effect on channel gating.[2] ToxicityCalcicludine has been shown to work on rat cardiac cells and rat cerebellum granule cells.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite journal |vauthors=Schweitz H, Heurteaux C, Bois P, Moinier D, Romey G, Lazdunski M |title=Calcicludine, a venom peptide of the Kunitz-type protease inhibitor family, is a potent blocker of high-threshold Ca2+ channels with a high affinity for L-type channels in cerebellar granule neurons |journal=Proc Natl Acad Sci USA |volume=91 |issue=3 |pages=878–82 |date=February 1994 |pmid=8302860 |pmc=521415 |url=http://www.pnas.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=8302860 |doi=10.1073/pnas.91.3.878}} {{Toxins}}2. ^{{cite journal |vauthors=Stotz SC, Spaetgens RL, Zamponi GW |title=Block of voltage-dependent calcium channel by the green mamba toxin calcicludine |journal=J.
