Chlorotoxin—A Multimodal Imaging Platform for Targeting Glioma Tumors
Chlorotoxin (CTX) is a 36-amino-acid disulfide-containing peptide derived from the venom of the scorpion <i>Leiurus quinquestriatus</i>. CTX alters physiology in numerous ways. It interacts with voltage gated chloride channels, Annexin-2, and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). CTX-based...
