An analogue of omega-conotoxin MVIIC, [125I]omega-MVIICnle, has been employed in an autoradiographic assay to define the distribution of binding sites in rat brain of this neuronal calcium channel antagonist. In comparison with N-type channels (labeled by [125I]omega conotoxin GVIA), omega-MVIICnle sites are much denser in cerebellum (molecular layer) than in forebrain. Binding in thalamus is also comparatively high for omega-MVIICnle. Under these conditions, [125I]omega-MVIICnle binding to rat brain sections is not displaceable by the N-channel antagonist, omega-conotoxin GVIA. The calcium channel blocker [125I]omega-conotoxin MVIICnle labels a unique set of binding sites in mammalian brain.
ω-芋螺毒素MVIIC的类似物[125I]ω-MVIICnle已被用于放射自显影分析,以确定这种神经元钙通道拮抗剂在大鼠脑中结合位点的分布。与N型通道(由[125I]ω-芋螺毒素GVIA标记)相比,ω-MVIICnle位点在小脑(分子层)中的密度比在前脑中高得多。ω-MVIICnle在丘脑中的结合也相对较高。在这些条件下,[125I]ω-MVIICnle与大鼠脑切片的结合不能被N通道拮抗剂ω-芋螺毒素GVIA取代。钙通道阻滞剂[125I]ω-芋螺毒素MVIICnle标记了哺乳动物脑中一组独特的结合位点。
