  • Title: Specific antagonism of the glutamate receptor by an extract from the venom of the spider Araneus ventricosus.
    Author: Kawai N, Miwa A, Abe T.
    Journal: Toxicon; 1983; 21(3):438-40. PubMed ID: 6312632.
    Abstract:
    A venom sac extract selectively and irreversibly suppressed excitatory postsynaptic potentials in the lobster neuromuscular junction without affecting inhibitory postsynaptic potentials. Glutamate-induced depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane was blocked by the venom extract, whereas membrane depolarization by aspartate was unaffected.
