SNX-482 hasbeenisolatedfromthevenomoftheSpiderHysterocratesgigas(Africantarantula). SNX-482 modulatestheR-type currentassociatedwiththeclassα1Ecalciumchannel(Cav2.3 fromtheCACNA1Egene). SNX-482 antagonizeschannelactivationbyinducingadepolarizingshiftintheactivationpotential,thuspreventingthechannelfromundergoingnormalmembranedepolarization. SNX-482 actsrapidlyandmaintainsitseffect.
