Protein

Potassium channel toxin epsilon-KTx 1.1

Gene
N/A
Organism
Tityus serrulatus (Brazilian scorpion)
Status
Reviewed-Annotation score: Annotation score: 3 out of 5-Experimental evidence at protein leveli

Functioni

Potassium channel blocker. At 3 µM, this toxin blocks voltage-independently voltage-gated potassium channels rKv1.2/KCNA2 (25%), hKv1.3/KCNA3 (27%), rKv4.2/KCND2 (25%), Kv10.1/KCNH1/EAG1 (15%), Kv11/hERG (12%), and Shaker-IR (10%). On hKv1.3/KCNA3, the IC50 is 17.1 +-3.3 µM.1 Publication

Miscellaneous

Does not block all sodium channels tested and several potassium channels. Does not block the following voltage-gated potassium channels: rKv1.1/KCNA1, rKv1.1/KCNA1, rKv1.5/KCNA5, rKv1.6/KCNA6, rKv2.1/KCNB1, hKv3.1/KCNC1, and Kv7.2/KCNQ2. Does not block the following voltage-gated sodium channels: rNav1.1/SCN1A, rNav1.4/SCN4A, hNav1.5/SCN5A, mNav1.6/SCN8A, and DmNav1/para.1 Publication
