| Specific Function
| Weak blocker of potassium channels Kv1.1/KCNA1 (IC(50)=9.9 uM) and Kv1.6/KCNA6 (~60% block at 30 uM of toxin) (PubMed:22305749). Acts by binding to the pore and occluding it (PubMed:22305749). Has a voltage-dependent mode of action, which can be explained by a high content of basic residues causing repulsions at higher membrane voltages (PubMed:22305749). Shows a weak interaction with muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR), since it inhibits alpha-bungarotoxin binding to muscle-type nAChR from T.californica (IC(50)=1.4 uM) (PubMed:31276191). This suggests it probably weakly inhibits muscle nAChR (PubMed:31276191). |
