that strongly potentiated currents of ASIC3, which has a specific role in the pain pathway. This peptide, RPRFamide, belongs to the subgroup of cono-RFamides. Electrophysiological characterization of isolated dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons revealed that RPRFamide increases their excitability. Moreover, injection of the peptide into the gastrocnemius muscle strongly enhanced acid-induced muscle pain in mice that was abolished by genetic inactivation of ASIC3. In summary, we identified a conopeptide that targets the nociceptor-specific ion channel ASIC3.
