2562 Maurotoxin Maurotoxin is a peptide toxin produced by the Chactoid scorpion (Scorpio maurus palmatus). It acts by blocking several types of voltage-gated potassium channel. (L1059) 188240-41-7 3621.2050000000017 Clear solution. >10 mg/mL Injection (sting/bite) (L1813) Maurotoxin acts by blocking several types of voltage-gated potassium channel. (L1059) Free toxin may be removed by opsonization via the reticuloendothelial system (primarily the liver and kidneys) or it may be degraded through cellular internalization via the lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of digestive enzymes, including several proteases. LD50: 9.37 mg/kg (Intravenous, Mouse) (T256) No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC). Maurotoxin is a peptide toxin produced by the Chactoid scorpion (Scorpio maurus palmatus). (L1059) Maurotoxin is neurotoxic.
