UniProtKB - P01489 (SCX4_LEIQU)
Protein
Alpha-toxin Lqq4
Gene
N/A
Organism
Leiurus quinquestriatus quinquestriatus (Egyptian scorpion) (Deathstalker scorpion)
Status
Functioni
Alpha toxins bind voltage-independently at site-3 of sodium channels (Nav) and inhibit the inactivation of the activated channels, thereby blocking neuronal transmission.
