Potassium channel toxin alpha-KTx 23.2

Gene
N/A
Organism
Vaejovis mexicanus smithi (Scorpion) (Vaejovis smithi)
Status
Reviewed-Annotation score: Annotation score: 3 out of 5-Experimental evidence at protein leveli

Functioni

Selectively and irreversibly binds (K(d)=2.9 pM) and blocks Kv1.3/KCNA3 potassium channels of human T-lymphocytes. Weakly blocks Kv1.2/KCNA2 (9%).1 Publication

Miscellaneous

Does not block hKCa3.1/KCNN4, and mKv1.1/KCNA1 channels (Ref. 1).
Has been patented as lead compound, candidates for the treatment of various autoimmune diseases and diagnostic applications (Ref. 1).

Links to similar proteins from the UniProt Reference Clusters (UniRef) at 100%, 90% and 50% sequence identity:
100%UniRef100 combines identical sequences and sub-fragments with 11 or more residues from any organism into one UniRef entry.
90%UniRef90 is built by clustering UniRef100 sequences that have at least 90% sequence identity to, and 80% overlap with, the longest sequence (a.k.a seed sequence).
50%UniRef50 is built by clustering UniRef90 seed sequences that have at least 50% sequence identity to, and 80% overlap with, the longest sequence in the cluster.
