CC   -!- FUNCTION: Potent inhibitor of shaker potassium channels as well as the
CC       mammalian homologs of shaker.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: Has the structural arrangement of an alpha-helix connected to
CC       antiparallel beta-sheets by disulfide bonds (CS-alpha/beta).
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the short scorpion toxin superfamily. Potassium
CC       channel inhibitor family. Alpha-KTx 03 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
