Joro spider toxin (joro toxin, JSTX) - a toxin which was originally extracted from the spider Nephila clavata venom. The compound has demonstrated the ability to selectively block postsynaptic glutamate potentials, AMPA glutamate receptors, and to antagonise the effect of NMDA receptors in the CNS of vertebrates. However, it does not affect aspartate-induced neural depolarization, resting membrane potential, nerve terminal spontaneous signalling, or inhibitory postsynaptic potentials.
