Application: Maurocalcin is a peptide toxin derived from the venom of the scorpion Scorpio maurus palmatus. It specifically targets and modulates ryanodine receptors (RyR), which are critical for calcium ion release in muscle cells. By binding to these receptors, Maurocalcin enhances calcium ion influx, leading to potent activation of intracellular calcium signaling pathways. This unique mechanism positions Maurocalcin as a valuable tool in studying calcium dynamics and muscle physiology. Additionally, its potential therapeutic applications include the treatment of conditions involving dysfunctional calcium homeostasis, such as certain muscle disorders and cardiac arrhythmias.
