ProTx-III, a spider venom peptide derived from the Peruvian green velvet tarantula, functions as a selective and potent inhibitor of the voltage-gated sodium channel Na v 1.7, exhibiting an IC 50 of 2.1 nM. Characterized by its inhibitor cystine knot motif (ICK), ProTx-III can attenuate the pain response and is applicable in research on chronic pain, epilepsy, and arrhythmia [1].
