ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to peptides of CaV2.2 and their use in the treatment of pain. The sequence of the peptides is derived from the C-terminus of CaV2.2. and is believed to inhibit the interaction of CaV2.2 with Mint1-PDZ1. The invention is related to use of this peptide to treat pain and to use of this peptide in binding reaction with int-PDZ to screen for small molecules that can inhibit pain.
