Wasabi Receptor Toxin (TFA)
Wasabi Receptor Toxin TFA (WaTx TFA) is the TFA salt form of Wasabi Receptor Toxin (HY-P5914) . Wasabi Receptor Toxin TFA is a cell-penetrating scorpion toxin. Wasabi Receptor Toxin TFA is the activator for TRPA1 ion channel with EC50 in nanomolar level, and prolongs the channel open time, but reduces Ca2+ permeability. Wasabi Receptor Toxin TFA causes thermal hypersensitivity and mechanical allodynia in rats, without triggering neurogenic inflammation[1].
