Product Description

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is potent neurotoxin that reversibly binds and blocks sodium channels to disrupt the action potential and inhibit the firing of neurons. It is a widely used tool to study the mechanism of action of neurons, skeletal muscle cells, and cardiac muscle cells.

  • Reversibly binds and blocks voltage-gated sodium channels
  • Available with citrate or citrate-free
  • Tetrodotoxin with citrate is water soluble

Tetrodotoxin citrate-free can be dissolved in slightly acidic buffer. Tetrodotoxin with citrate can be dissolved in water to obtain TTX in pH 4.8 citrate buffer.
