P55928 (KAX72_PANIM) Reviewed, UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot

Names and origin

Protein names	Recommended name: Potassium channel toxin alpha-KTx 7.2 Alternative name(s): Pandinotoxin-beta Potassium channel-blocking toxin 3 Short name=Pi-3 Short name=Pi3 Toxin PiTX-K-beta
Organism	Pandinus imperator (Emperor scorpion)
Taxonomic identifier	55084 [NCBI]
Taxonomic lineage	Eukaryota › Metazoa › Arthropoda › Chelicerata › Arachnida › Scorpiones › Iurida › Scorpionoidea › Scorpionidae › Scorpioninae › Pandinus

Protein attributes

Sequence length	35 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Potent inhibitor of the A-type voltage-gated potassium channels. Most potent inhibitor of Kv1.2/KCNA2 channels. Reversibly block the Shaker B potassium-channels (Kv1.1 sub-family), but with a lower affinity than PiTX-K alpha. Ref.2
Subcellular location	Secreted.
Tissue specificity	Expressed by the venom gland.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the short scorpion toxin superfamily. Potassium channel inhibitor family. Alpha-KTx 7 subfamily.
