Potassium channel toxin gamma-KTx 3.1

Gene
N/A
Organism
Centruroides noxius (Mexican scorpion)
Status
Reviewed-Annotation score: Annotation score: 3 out of 5-Experimental evidence at protein leveli

Functioni

Blocks Kv11/ERG potassium channels (tested in MMQ lactotroph cells that contain the three ERG channels: rKv11.1/KCNH2/ERG1, rKv11.2/KCNH6/ERG2 and rKv11.3/KCNH7/ERG3). This toxin can be used to distinguish slow deactivating components (ERGS) from fast deactivating components (ERGF) currents, since it specifically blocks ERGS.1 Publication

Similar proteinsi

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.
