UniProtKB - P0C8W3 (VKT11_HOFGE)
Protein
Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor Hg1
Gene
N/A
Organism
Hoffmannihadrurus gertschi (Scorpion) (Hadrurus gertschi)
Status
Functioni
Dual-function toxin that completely inhibits the activity of trypsin at a molar ratio of 1:1 (dissociation constant of 107 nM) and that inhibits mKv1.3/KCNA3 potassium channel currents with an IC50 of 6.2 nM (where 1 µM inhibits 80% of currents). Also has weak inhibitory activity against mKv1.1/KCNA1 (where 1 µM inhibits less than 50% of currents), hKv1.2/KCNA2 (where 1 µM inhibits less than 50% of currents), and hKCa2.3/KCNN3.
1 PublicationMiscellaneous
Has no effect on chymotrypsin, nor elastase, nor the KCa1.1/KCNMA1 potassium channel.1 Publication
