Protein
Potassium channel toxin alpha-KTx 21.1
Gene
N/A
Organism
Tityus serrulatus (Brazilian scorpion)
Status
Functioni
Reversibly and voltage-independently blocks voltage-gated potassium channels rKv1.2/KCNA2 (73%) (IC50=196 nM), hKv1.3/KCNA3 (50%) (IC50=508 nM), Shaker IR (30%), rKv1.6/KCNA6 (22%) (at 0.5 µM). Interaction of Ts15 with Kv1.3/KCNA3 is stronger than its interaction with Kv1.2/KCNA2.1 Publication
Miscellaneous
Does not block voltage-gated sodium channels rNav1.4/SCN4A, hNav1.5/SCN5A, mNav1.6/SCN8A and rNav1.8/SCN10A, and Kv1.1/KCNA1, rKv1.4/KCNA4, rKv1.5/KCNA5, rKv2.1/KCNB1, hKv3.1/KCNC1, rKv4.2/KCND2, rKv4.3/KCND3 and hERG potassium channels, when tested at a concentration of 0.5 µM.1 Publication

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. |
