UniProtKB - P85529 (KAX2D_CENSU)
Protein
Potassium channel toxin alpha-KTx 2.13
Gene
N/A
Organism
Centruroides suffusus (Durango bark scorpion)
Status
Functioni
Selective inhibitor of voltage-gated potassium channels, blocks the Kv1.2/KCNA2 (Kd=1.3 nM) and Kv1.3/KCNA3 (Kd=7.2 nM) channels. Association and dissociation rates of the toxin are slower for Kv1.2/KCNA2 than for Kv1.3/KCNA3.
1 PublicationMiscellaneous
Does not inhibit the potassium channels Kv1.1/KCNA1, Kv1.4/KCNA4, Kv1.5/KCNA5, Kv2.1/KCNB1, Kv11.1/KCNH2, KCa3.1/KCNN4, KCa1.1/KCNMA1 and the sodium channel Nav1.5/SCN5A.1 Publication
