Annotation score:5 out of 5

<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome. This score <strong>cannot</strong> be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the 'correct annotation' for any given protein.<p><a href='/help/annotation_score' target='_top'>More...</a></p>-Experimental evidence at protein leveli <p>This indicates the type of evidence that supports the existence of the protein.

Inhibits A-type (Kv4) voltage-gated potassium channels of striated neurons (Ki=131 nM), probably by acting as a pore blocker (PubMed:12473099, PubMed:23440961, PubMed:30529150). Has also been shown to block ERG1/Kv11.1/KCNH2 potassium channels (IC50=7.9 µM) (PubMed:18687312). The presence of the Kv4-associated proteins DPP6 or DPP10 is mandatory to have high-affinity blockade of Kv4.2/KCND2 and Kv4.3/KCND3 channels (80-90% inhibition at 500 nM of toxin) (PubMed:23440961). In contrast, the presence of the Kv4-associated protein KChIP1/KCNIP1 does not enhance the affinity blockade (only 40% inhibition at 500 nM) (PubMed:23440961). In adult rat brain, the toxin binds to sites in the striatum, and cerebellum. It shares the same target in rat brain than AaTX1 (AC Q867F4) and BmTX3 (AC Q8I0L5). In DPP6 knockout mice, A-type currents are about 20-fold less affected by the toxin (PubMed:23440961). In rodent models of Parkinson's disease, the toxin reduces motor symptoms and emotional and cognitive symptoms (PubMed:25356731).5 Publications

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p> <p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen is extremely low.</p> <p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case of multiple genes (paralogs).</p> <p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64) using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1. The algorithm is described in the ISO 3309 standard. </p> <p class="publication">Press W.H., Flannery B.P., Teukolsky S.A. and Vetterling W.T.<br /> <strong>Cyclic redundancy and other checksums</strong><br /> <a href="http://www.nrbook.com/b/bookcpdf.php">Numerical recipes in C 2nd ed., pp896-902, Cambridge University Press (1993)</a>)</p> Checksum:i29C076CEF36511C4
