Abstract
⺠Three Ca channel blocking peptides were identified from the venom of the tarantula. ⺠The peptide GTx1-15 is novel and inhibits T-type calcium channel (Cav3.1). ⺠GTx1-15 shows highest sequence homology with sodium channel blocker peptides. ⺠Surface atmospheres were similar in the low-voltage-activated ion channel blockers.
