Protein
Potassium channel toxin gamma-KTx 1.8
Gene
N/A
Organism
Centruroides elegans (Bark scorpion)
Status
Functioni
Blocks in a reversible manner human and rat Kv11.1/KCNH2/ERG1 potassium channels (PubMed:18338253).
Also completely and irreversibly blocks rat Kv11.2/KCNH6/ERG2 and human Kv11.3/KCNH7/ERG3 channels (PubMed:18338253).
Also weakly inhibits Kir2.1/KCNJ2 and Kv1.2/KCNA2 potassium channels (PubMed:29483648).
