Shipping Temperature
The product is shipped as a lyophilized powder at room temperature. Upon receipt, store the product at -20°C. Protect from moisture.
Storage Conditions
Storage as Solution: The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4°C for up to 1 week. For longer periods (up to 6 months), small aliquots should be stored at -20°C. We do not recommend storing the product in working solutions for longer than a few days. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. - Storage before Reconstitution: The product is shipped as a lyophilized powder at room temperature. Upon receipt, store the product at -20°C. Protect from moisture. - Storage after Reconstitution: The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4°C for up to 1 week. For longer periods (up to 6 months), small aliquots should be stored at -20°C. We do not recommend storing the product in working solutions for longer than a few days. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

A Potent Antagonist of α1/β1/δ/γ nAChR
Description
α-Conotoxin G1, Alpha-conotoxin GI - A Potent Antagonist of α1/β1/δ/γ nAChR
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial (10, 000 × g for 5 minutes) before adding solvent to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Gently tap, tilt, and roll the vial to aid dissolution. Avoid vigorous vortexing; light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain biological activity.

Origin
Conus geographus (Geography cone) (Nubecula geographus)
Modifications

Disulfide bonds between: Cys2-Cys7, Cys3-Cys13 

Cys13 - C-terminal amidation

Effective Concentration
10 nM - 1 μM
Activity
α-Conotoxin GI inhibits α/δ site on mouse muscle-derived BC3H-1 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) expressed on postsynaptic membranes. Other site (α/γ site) on nicotinic receptors from Torpedo californica electric organ is also inhibited by α-Conotoxin GI1, 2.
Solubility
Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10, 000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration.

Scientific Background
α-Conotoxin GI is a 13 amino acid peptidyl toxin isolated from the Conus geographus (Geography cone) venom1, 2, 3. It belongs to the Conotoxin A superfamily and reversibly blocks α/δ nicotinic ACh channel receptors (nAChR).α-Conotoxin GI reversibly inhibits the high affinity α/δ site on mouse muscle-derived BC3H-1 receptor, a nAChR expressed on postsynaptic membranes4, 5. Other low site (α/γ site) on nicotinic receptors from Torpedo californica electric organ is also inhibited by α-Conotoxin GI5.
