A newly identified toxin from the American Funnel Web spider acts on T-type and N-type calcium channels, researchers have discovered.

Apart from the potency of its venom, the funnel web is long-lived, making it suitable for laboratory based research.

In particular, there is a positive correlation between practitioners who would consider treating funnel web spider bites and practitioners who would consider treating tiger snake bites (p<0.01), brown snake bites (p<0.01), taipan bites (p<0.01), black snake bites (p<0.01), death adder bites (p<0.01) and sea snake bites (p<0.01).

The spider is a funnel web builder and is quite aggressive.

This inhibition appeared to be readily reversible, and was prevented by the addition of funnel web spider toxin (FTX), but not by other calcium channel blockers, such as omega conotoxin or nifedipine.
