Chlorotoxin（蝎氯毒素 氯代毒素） 

Selective ligand of Glioma cells(神經膠質瘤細胞的選擇性配體)

Chlorotoxin (Cltx) is a neurotoxin that was originally isolated from the venom of Leiurus quinquestriatus. Chlorotoxin is a specific ligand of glioma cells. Chlorotoxin binds to Cl^-channels (small conductance epithelial chloride channels) in the brain and spinal cord and inhibits Cl^- influx. Chlorotoxin most probably acts as a specific blocker, although residues both inside and outside of the pore region of the Cl^- channels participate in chlorotoxin binding. It was demonstrated that chlorotoxin inhibits specifically the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) without affecting MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-9. MMP-2 are upregulated in glioma cells and related cells making chlorotoxin a promising antitumoral drug and diagnosis tool.
