Protein

Potassium channel toxin kappa-KTx 1.3

Gene
N/A
Organism
Heterometrus spinifer (Asia giant forest scorpion) (Malaysian black scorpion)
Status
Reviewed-Annotation score: Annotation score: 4 out of 5-Experimental evidence at protein leveli

Functioni

Has no effect on potassium channels.

Miscellaneous

Has no effect on Kv1.1/KCNA1, Kv1.2/KCNA2 and Kv1.3/KCNA3 potassium channels, suggesting that the presence of an additional charged residue in a position adjacent to the dyad lysine impedes the functional block of Kv1 channels produced by this toxin.1 Publication
