Stability and Safety of Inhibitor Cystine Knot Peptide, GTx1-15, from the Tarantula Spider <i>Grammostola rosea</i>
Inhibitor cystine knot (ICK) peptides are knotted peptides with three intramolecular disulfide bonds that affect several types of ion channels. Some are proteolytically stable and are promising scaffolds for drug development. GTx1-15 is an ICK peptide that inhibits the voltage-dependent calcium chan...
